Description

The Prince of Ombria is dying, and already his sinister great-aunt is plotting to seize power. The city folk know her reign would be a terrible one. Ombria, it seems, is doomed and yet beneath the streets, a mysterious sorceress is weaving new spells, watched over by a girl sculpted entirely from wax.
