Cythera

Death and Art...

War and Love...

Welcome to Cythera.

Guy Io never suspected his life of ease would end. His gifts as a painter brought him fame and luxury and pleasure. The city of Cythera, a Rococo paradise devoted to art, was laid at his feet.

Then the long-men came.

Creatures of regal beauty, their appearance was celebrated by all. But their elegance masked a malevolence that could plunge the city into darkness...

After escaping a horrific assault, Guy is scarred in both body and mind. As his beloved country falls, he and the other frightened survivors face a stark choice:

Resurrect the forgotten art of war—

—or die.
