The Malacia Tapestry
Jostling through the light and shadow of Malacia's streets goes a crowd
of people; dukes, wealthy merchants, bankrupt families, actresses,
priests, courtesans, spongers, soldiers, and down-at-heel showmen. They
are seen through the eyes of Perian de Chirolo, actor and
man-about-town, whose adventures take him through all strata of
Malacian society and into the heart of its darkest secrets, lay and
spiritual.
