Talisk, Cervello, and Toskrin descend into the velvet-draped depths of Damian’s brothel — a place where secrets burn brighter than candles and every indulgence hides a purpose. To return to their own timeline, they must face the Trials of Madness, a ritual shrouded in chaos and divine fire, said to open a path to the elusive god, Hermes.
One by one, they are plunged into visions and temptations, forced to confront impossible choices, haunting memories, and the weight of their own pasts. In the flickering heat of revelation, loyalties waver and illusions crack.
When the flames die down, a single question lingers: What is the truth?
And are they truly ready to hear it?
