    About this ebook

    His was a depressing world, filled with lightless days and lightless nights that blended together without seam or union; a continual and monotonous passage of undifferentiated time: day and night passing unmarked and incessant from dark to dark.

    The tale of Desiege Thomas Escariat, crown prince of Eldanar, captured in battle in the prime of his life and condemned to live out his remaining days confined in a perpetually dark dungeon cell.

    A novelette-length medieval fiction tale set in a fictional world.
