The Silk Betrayal
A young man travels to the city to study magic, but he finds intrigue and revolution.
Pavresh hoped to master the intricacies of arcist magic. Instead, he finds himself entangled in the city’s events. While princes scheme against each other for power, revolutionaries plot against them all to overthrow the rigid caste system. Poets try to inspire change with heretical words, while militants plan more forceful action. A woman born to the princely class, rendered untouchable by a disfiguring accident, sees in revolution a path to a better life. All these strands meet at the home of Chaitan, the elderly master magician from whom Pavresh wishes to learn.
In such an environment, betrayal is inevitable. When loyalties conflict, how does one decide whom to betray?
