Synopsis

Step into a world where the stories we tell become the dangers we face.

In the land of the Vale, the grand city of Pivot rises as a beacon of innovation, where the old ways of magic have been cast aside in favor of progress. Seventeen-year-old Pascal has grown up within the walls of the Skystead Home for Orphaned Children, restless and hungry for the undiscovered. Not even whispers of disappearing children can keep him from wandering beyond the orphanage grounds.

Alongside Paloma, a street-savvy former gang leader haunted by her past, and Pierrot, an enigmatic companion who speaks through silence, the trio is drawn into the heart of the city. There, the stories of the Harlequin come alive in a beloved puppet theater, awakening in them a longing for something more, a belief that magic never truly left the world.

But beyond the wonder, something darker stirs. Children are vanishing. A darkness hides in plain sight. And the boundary between myth and reality begins to blur.

As the truth surfaces, their bonds are tested, loyalties are questioned, and Pascal must confront a past far more mysterious than he ever imagined.

Some legacies are not given. They must be awakened.
