An original adventure on the border between life and death.
Fourteen-year-old Ottavia wakes up, disoriented and with no memory, in a mysterious and labyrinthine place: the fortress of Haresind. During her escape, she will be accompanied by various creatures, meet other prisoners and, like in the best videogames, face numerous tests, encountering monstrous beings and ambiguous characters. The path that will lead her to safety, piecing back together the puzzle of her memories, will also be the means to discover a secret hidden deep inside the fortress.
