Once destined to lead the grand library of Aris, scholar Clyde now faces its ruin. Appointed overseer of Atramancy, the art of manipulating the occult Ink, he must confront the very force that promised knowledge but delivered madness. The Ink, an alien entity sealed within Aris, twists minds and bodies, and Clyde must battle through corrupted halls to restore order.
