An ornate yet dark illusion, with echoes of Mervyn Peake, Robin Hobb and Jon Courtenay Grimwood. An original and beautifully imagined world, filled by unforgettable individuals. Lucien de Fontein has grown up different. One of the strange and misshapen Orfano who look around the Kingdom of Landfall, he's a skilled fighter yet constantly unhappy, suffering from his deformity, and well aware that he's a mere pawn in a politics game. Ruled by an insane King and the venomous Majordomo, it is a world where problem and decay are deeply rooted - but to a diploma Lucien never dreams possible when he first discovers the plight of the 'insane' women stored in the haunting Sanatoria. Told in a continuing narrative interspersed with flashbacks we see Lucien expand up under the treatment of his tutors. We watch him pressured through thorough Testings, and semester in love, arranged against his yearning to find where he comes from, and exactly how his fate is linked with that of each one of the deformed Orfano in the Kingdom, and of the eerie Sanatoria itself.
