Prompt: 19 *WARNING* If you are sensitive to LGBTQ stories or topics, I advise you to read at your own risk or not read at all. Thank you!A gothic historical mystery set in 1890s FranceWhen Armand Arme à Feu, a decorated French soldier and nephew to the King of England, returns from a solitary holiday, he finds his world unrecognizably altered-his best friend Lou has vanished. Not run away. Not gone. Erased.No one remembers Lou. Not Belle. Not the townsfolk of Beaulieu-sur-Mer. Not even the man in the mirror.Declared unstable, Armand is imprisoned in Springs Grove Asylum, a crumbling seaside institution nestled in the cliffs above the Riviera. Within its cold stone walls and fog-choked halls, Armand discovers the unthinkable: Lou is alive, locked in another wing of the asylum-and claiming he is the one whose memories were stolen.As the two struggle to hold onto their truth-and each other-they uncover a sinister conspiracy engineered by Armand's uncle, King Henry, who seeks to erase inconvenient lives with an invention cloaked in science and silence.In a world where memory can be rewritten and love is considered madness, Armand must choose:Expose the truth, or remain the king's perfect nephew.Deny who he is, or fight to reclaim the one person who always saw him clearly.Cover designed by the wonderful @Nightenghale (Fiona JOHNSTON)…
