Synopsis
In the canal city of Larkweft, guilt doesn't just eat at your conscience—it rains from the sky.
Amos White is a municipal roof-inspector who has spent his entire life smoothing over the rough edges of society. He fixes broken slates, clears clogged gutters, and yields to conflict to keep the peace. But Larkweft is a city built on buried rot, and the elite's most shameful secrets are finally overflowing. Unnatural, highly specific weather anomalies are plaguing the city—a choking sea fog born of corruption, freezing sleet raining down on the greedy, and impossible frost shattering glass. The source? The Museum of Borrowed Weather, an ancient, sealed monolith meant to process the emotional exhaust of a broken city.When Amos is cornered by Sandor Selmy, the ruthless head of the merchant guilds, he is ordered to cap the magical leaks and bury the truth forever. Desperate to maintain harmony, Amos agrees. But his brilliant, uncompromising apprentice, Cleo Cipher, refuses to let the innocent pay the price for the sins of the powerful. As the atmospheric pressure builds to catastrophic levels, Amos must confront the devastating cost of his own cowardice. Will he patch the leak to protect the elite, or will he shatter the containment and let the devastating storm of truth wash Larkweft clean?Why you will love this: This atmospheric Fantasy weaves a spectacular tale of gaslamp magic, deep civic mysteries, and moral complexity. Fans of dark fantasy, unique magic systems, and cinematic storytelling will be completely swept away by the intricate world-building, where literal weather patterns act as the universe’s karmic vengeance.Author and narrator John Newbill masterfully brings Larkweft to life, delivering an immersive, spellbinding audiobook performance with a wholly original voice that captures both the delicate beauty of a painted sky and the visceral terror of a magical hurricane.
