Freedom is the ultimate illusion, and for the world's greatest escape artist, the final cage is his own skin.
Caspian was once a god of the stage, a man who defied chains, vaults, and gravity itself. Now, he is a monument to tragic stillness, entombed in his own spine following a horrific accident that turned his life into a silent solarium in Blackwater Reach. His world is measured in the rhythmic pulse of his breath and the watchful, velvet-voiced presence of Vespera-his savior, or perhaps, his jailer.
But when the "Silence" of his sanctuary is punctured by whispers of a world beyond the glass, Caspian is thrust into a high-stakes game of psychological warfare. As the "Glimmer" of a dark conspiracy emerges, he must decide if the reality he sees is a sanctuary or a sophisticated deception.
When the lock is your own soul, how much blood are you willing to pay for the key?
