In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone. Messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Are they a friend or do they bring destruction and madness as the Other claims? Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered. The world that Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous.

In the heart of the duchy Lublin, where the Hussar Order rules with sword and scripture, rumors spread of a noble child born under a dark omen. Whispers of deformity and curse ignite fear in the streets, and fear is the most dangerous weapon of all.<br/><br/> Brother Pawel, weary knight of the Order and veteran of countless investigations, knows too well that superstition is rarely the truth... but it always bleeds like it. Called to the Lipski dynasty stronghold, he must uncover whether the child's fate is marked by heaven, or by men who profit from fear.<br/><br/> What begins as a tale of hushed voices and forged prayers soon reveals a conspiracy reaching from taverns to altars, from the gutter to the highest halls of power. Every clue drags Pawel deeper into a web of deceit where silver shines brighter than faith, and every step closer to a truth that risks plunging Lublin into fire.<br/><br/> Dark, atmospheric, and relentless, The Cursed Child is a gothic investigation set in the grim world of Naissus... where knights hunt not demons, but the lies men wield as weapons.
