Summary

In a realm where myths breathe and gods still walk among mortals, Icarus didn’t die—he fell. Shattered and forgotten, Icarus is trapped in a cycle of memories and pain, wandering a surreal, fractured world shaped by regret. Haunted by the ghost of Daedalus and pursued by visions of wings and sunfire, he meets a mysterious archivist who offers him a chance at salvation: tell his story truthfully, and he may yet find peace.But truth is slippery, and memory is a labyrinth. As Icarus delves into the events that led him skyward, and then spiraling down, he must confront the lies he told himself and the gods, and decide whether freedom is worth the fall.
