A Masquerade of Corpses

IF EMOTION FLICKERS, THE MASK WILL KILL YOU. REMAIN LOYAL TO YOUR HOUSE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OUR CITY.

I'imrik never needed a mask. As Maskless of the House of Apathy, I'imrik had conquered every emotion and felt nothing. The Sorrows were bound to sadness, and the Rages, their anger; Joys pranced with grotesque, unwavering smiles. Feeling an emotion outside of your district was a Betrayal of one's house, and Betrayal was punishable by death.

When Lilo, the new Maskless of the House of Joy, invites I'imrik to a fight to the death, his eyes open to a world of chaos. Experiencing emotion for the first time in his life, I'imrik fights for control of his mind and the world he's always held in his hand. It's a race against time to find the god who created their City and reclaim control of his heart. The choices are simple: restore his seat in the House of Apathy or die.
