    The Apprentices Chronicles Series

    By Alberto Catellani

    About this series

    The eagerly awaited sequel to the The Investigator and the Case of the Missing Brain, The Investigator and the Fury of the Fog, has finally arrived.

    A Breach, an event whispered fearfully by the reckless few. An act by which the Investigator may break free of Cloatos, to rampage upon the world. The prisoner of Cloatos and at the same time its Investigator, having finally broken free from the confines of the Gates. Such an event is impossible, unacceptable, and any hint of it must be silenced, or drowned in the fiery flames of the Burning Council's agents.

    The steaming city of Osyr where the industry forges its weapons against the enemy in the war of kings has a problem. It is not the tentacles that drag countless people into the hungry maws of the Kraken by their docks. It is not the shrieking of the Mangulls, or the Lost souls that cry out in its darkest corners. 

    The rumors that spread through the city are the problem, and those that point to a potential Breach are worrisome to the extreme. 

    Yet the haunting memories of the Investigator are far more real than others might think, at least for Lyara de la Malinne, Investigator for the Burning Council who has to contend with a shadow of the monster of Cloatos itself. Her worst nightmare given form, and yet also her best bet in reaching the end of a seemingly meaningless hunt through the districts of Osyr, all to safeguard the city from the fires of the Burning Council. 

    There is only one problem in playing the game by the Investigator's rules.

    The Investigator always lies, yet, perhaps, there is an even greater threat at hand...

    ...the risk of believing in his innocence.

      If one could murder sanity, then the Investigator would be the prime suspect. He walked without a care in the world. Nobody who knew him would question him, and those who didn't know the man generally learned his quirks in time to avoid meeting a gory end.  As Lyara hurried behind The Investigator, she reckoned it could have been worse. The Investigator simply was the prime force to reckon with in Cloatos, and that was while considering the ancient evils that lurked beneath the depths of the city, the primeval plagues that scoured the living, the poisonous insects and plants, the diseased minds of psychopaths and much more. The Investigator didn't bleed like normal men. He didn't feel pain. He didn't suffer. He was an Unnatural, and his favorite food was despair. The Investigator and The Case of the Missing Brain is a dark humor, urban fantasy filled adventure that is set into a grim looking penal colony for the wicked known as Cloatos, ruled by the law of survival of the smartest and deep underground, where magics both ancient and powerful keep those who enter inside, and prevent any escape.. Lyara is a cynical, hard-nosed girl scraping barely by, and with all the bad luck of the world on her shoulders, for she has caught the Investigator's interest, and that is never a good thing. With venom and sarcasm dripping from her every word, even scenes of uncommon horror hardly faze her. The Investigator is a witty psychopath with a penchant for sadism, but a monster has to eat, and he feeds on despair. His hobby of solving troubles in the underground colony stem from a mere desire to stave off his boredom as he plans his great escape from the inescapable prison, and no proper Investigator would work without an assistant. Never mind the gruesome ends his assistants always end up in. "An interesting story, with proper servings of despair and horror (as expected from Sir Shadenight). Very gritty. And then you introduce the Investigator.  Hoo boy. Even among the rest of them, his affable evil and casual violation of her personal freedom and identity really stands out and makes the character's suffering that much more real." -Unelemental "Cloatos: Very interesting dynamics, very interesting world building. The Unnaturals the small things the monsters, it is great. Basileus: Very well crafted monster. When he plays around: terrifying. When he stops playing around: intriguing." -Ian Drash "It's gorgeous. I like Basileus and his blatant psychopathy and sadism the most." -Alphaleph

    Alberto Catellani

    Alberto Catellani was born on the 9 of March from the country that brought forth the greatest of inventions: the Road. We are talking of Italy, and he was born on a dark and stormy night at 3 in the morning. From a bright and early age, he wanted to write and once he found his grandfather's old typing machine, write he did. What he wrote back then is best left forgotten to the annals of time. Still, he keeps writing on. Known on the Internet as Shadenight123, and outside of it as someone with fifteen years plus of experience as a Dungeon Master capable of actually finishing the campaigns he starts, he has enjoyed a Classical Schooling, moved on to the beer-filled lands of Germany, and is currently attempting a Master level degree with, hopefully, a Ph.D afterwards. And in the meantime, he keeps on writing. Writing brings happiness, to himself and to those who enjoy his books and that, more than anything, is what truly makes him willing to write more and more. If you work at something you enjoy doing, after all, it will be as if you haven't been working at all.
