Prologue: An Enchantress Spurned

Once upon a time, is how the old lie goes. For truth is light as leaves in the current, and time it ever flows.

A mythpunk take on the old fable. A little town, a quiet village, where an inventor's daughter dreams of tomorrow's promise, devouring the literature of the French Enlightenment. Where a damaged soldier learns the greatest struggle could be to refuse to fight. And a prince cursed ponders surrender.

This tale as old as time, this song as old as rhyme, has some darker notes to play.
