[READ]: This book contains strong language and mentions of violence. Suitable for a 16+ demographic. The book cover is originally drawn by the author themselves, too.

The debut installment of the HYDRA web novel series.

With the passage of time, the empty seat of the Director of the Sombre Arts remains void of any of the art's successors sitting on it for years. Its recent possessor of both seat and title mysteriously vanished and was presumed dead due to extensive searches throughout the continent of Agmadoren with no leads. However, instances of chaos began appearing without reason throughout the entire nation of Galamona; the balance of natural law descended into madness, as if foul play was involved. 

Would our protagonist, a champion of the Maidens of Darkness, find the source of the blight that begins to seep its mayhem throughout the peaceful nation? Set in a fusion of a steampunk world filled with European-Asian inspirations, read more as you delve into this whimsical, fantasy web novel with political play, as well as an extremely detailed look at the various creatures, magic, and locations scattered in the Path of Cathedra.

I have a new Tumblr account, @realfirnament, to answer any questions you may have, both in-lore or as an author, etc., or teasers for upcoming projects! Go check it out!
