    About this ebook

    There is a murderer stalking the city of Shensang. His name is Sebastian Laikee, and a blue butterfly stirs deep in his soul, shaking out fractal wings. As the storm of possibilities unfolds he must choose his path (and his allies) with care if he is to succeed.

    'Lost Time' is the latest installment of 'The Cult of the Butterfly', my latest piece of serial fiction. Keep an eye here or on my Deviantart page for future chapters.
