    About this ebook

    Thomas leads a monotonous life, barely existing from one day to the next. But when a mysterious artifact transports him to a city of lost souls, he finds himself on an enlightening odyssey beyond imagination. 

    In this phantasmagorical city, Thomas must navigate surreal streets while helping ghostly residents confront their past regrets. With guidance from the cryptic Portia, Thomas unlocks the artifact's hidden powers to redeem both the city and himself. 

    He soon discovers the city is a mirror of human consciousness. Its fate is tied to the shadows in every soul. To liberate the city and its lost souls, Thomas must illuminate the darkness in his own heart.

    Thomas's fantastical journey teaches him life-altering lessons about regret, sorrow, and realizing one's full potential. He comes to understand we all have a choice - to haunt our pasts or move boldly into the future. 

    Can one ordinary man overcome his demons to save both a magical city and his own humanity?
