The Stained Tower: The Tower’s Prelude

By Iris Reign

The Stained Tower series is an eccentric's ode to history.

The Tower's Prelude places you in the moth-eaten shoes of Constance Nightingale, a 16th-century Shakespearean woman. A tired, depressed, and forlorn woman plagued by a 'curse' all her life, fate finally sees Constance hanged. Becoming something akin to a spirit, she is swept away to a world like and unlike our own when a magical apocalypse is in its earliest infancy. Lost in a densely populated jungle of concrete, she resorts to what life taught her-hide, run, steal, adapt. Yet Constance quickly realizes that everything she touches is either made sick by her ghostly body or devoured by the noose that haunts her long after her death.

A LitRPG origin story unlike any other: experience the chaotic melancholy, live her struggle, and laugh when curiosity brings light to the Tenebrous.

Life. Death. Loneliness. Nothing lasts forever.

A perceptive or knowledgeable reader of The Tower's Prelude might notice numerous references to real history, events, locations, businesses, institutions, people, names/surnames, and 16th-century literature. Such inclusions are portrayed through an in-universe lore lens, thus they are a fusion of reality and fantasy, and should be considered fiction.
