Darkness falls at the Rosing residence. A grand estate outside of the city, known for mysterious festivities and its rumored secret society. The Tale-Teller's Guild. A soir e for writers. A gathering that everyone whispers about, but many doubt is real. A salon where writers come together to drink fine forbidden vintages and share short stories. Tonight's groups of authors include a romance novelist, an adventurer, a scandal, a cad, a war hero. The hosts are two beloved, aged literary legends. And then, there's Vida. The stories aren't what she would expect. The tales they tell don't match the words they usually publish. The tales seem to spring unbidden, revealing the secrets of each novelist, essayist or poet. That is the purpose of the Tale-Teller's Guild, after all. To remember. To reveal. To tell the stories locked within. And even Vida has secrets.
