In a world where Chaos was once banished and Order claimed victory too soon, the story is far from over.
Set in the dark fantasy universe of Kortikia, this atmospheric novella follows a dangerous infiltration along the waters of the Styx, where a living fortress awakens and ancient powers begin to shift. A fragile alliance - a harpy cleric of shadow, a succubus bound by secret loyalties, a warrior trapped in a stolen body, a goblin driven by old debts, and a mysterious living chronicle - must recover a child known as the Daughter of Chaos before the balance between Law and Chaos collapses entirely.
But the Fortress watches.
The ritual that binds them carries a price.
And beyond every victory waits another beginning.
Narrated through the voice of the Labir, a chronicler who walks the edge between memory and myth, this dark epic fantasy blends mythic worldbuilding, morally complex characters, and philosophical undertones into a tense and immersive journey.
Perfect for readers of:
dark fantasy and epic fantasy adventures
mythic fantasy worlds and deep lore
morally grey characters and layered storytelling
gothic atmosphere and philosophical themes
A standalone story set within the wider Chronicles of Kortikia - ideal both for new readers and fans of Favole al Candelabro.
Enter the Twilight. Some stories refuse to end.
