An anonymous artist known only as “Daedalia” is really two people—a feral young woman whose intricate drawings seem to show people the selves they’re avoiding, and the smooth-talking hustler who turns her into a myth—until her work begins to change strangers’ lives and they have to decide whether Daedalia is a beautiful lie or something far more dangerous.
Daedalia is a serial novel written, narrated and produced by Ben Wakeman for Catch & Release. New chapters drop every Monday morning starting January 12, 2026.
