The Dormant Audiobook (Free)

New Babylon may be the capital from the mighty Second Empire. Dirigibles drift over the city, steam trains race down its monitors, as well as the factory chimneys never prevent billowing smoke, also for a moment. The hegemony of science is unquestioned, yet magic hasn’t vanished from the world. It continues to be dissolved in the bloodstream of those who are known as Illustrious. Hardline reductionists discover that hard to simply accept, but it isn’t in their capacity to transformation the longstanding position quo.

Everything threatens to about The Dormant change with the loss of life from the widowed Empress, and Leopold Orso, an Illustrious gentleman, can sense the looming changes clearer than most. He feels the pull of far-away lands, but a gloomy past holds him in place like a deadly snare. Will the whirlpool of arriving events draw our troubled illustrious hero to the bottom or throw him up to unimaginable levels? And will anything stay to toss him up to?

It’s impossible to say. After all, there are highly placed conspirators ready to do whatever needs doing just to get what’s theirs. Bullets from employed killers, anarchists’ bombs, blood magic of Aztec priests, and electroshock therapy inside a psychiatric clinic. Leopold could have a difficult time overcoming everything destiny has waiting for you for him and staying himself through it all.
