Strings of the Fool

Elias was a starving playwright, forgotten by the world and buried beneath unpaid debts and broken scripts. But when his final curtain fell, he opened his eyes in another body — that of Cyril Faen, a man with porcelain hands and strings that move on their own. Now trapped in Veyren, a fog-shrouded city ruled by masks and gods, Cyril must learn to survive where every soul performs on a stage they cannot see. The gods watch. The puppets dance. And the Fool takes the stage.
