For twenty years, Arawn has spent every day in magic-dampening prisons. The latest being the Gutter, a place for the worst the human kind has to offer. Haunted by memories of the past and overwhelming power he cannot control, Arawn wishes for nothing more than to rot away in the darkness, far from the fragile humans he might hurt. Yet a new criminal is sent to the Gutter. He’s lively, alert, and too self-assured to just let himself die in a dingy cell. The moment he notices Arawn’s fascination with the outside world, he showers him in tales about its beauty and warmth, something very opposite to the dark cell they now inhabit. Slowly, a long dead sprout of curiosity rises its head within Arawn. But are abominations like him even allowed in the outside world? Wouldn’t he be smited by the gods the moment he took a step out? He would do it, if he were them. --- If you want to chat about the novel or ask me anything, visit my discord ^^ https://discord.gg/ZegeFhH
