In The City of Drowned Souls,( Victorian Liverpool 1890- 1870)
After a series of brutal murders committed by a mysterious killer known as "The Magician," Peter Pan reappears in the human world - no longer the eternal boy, but a young man of 21, haunted by the weight of memory. Having lost his ability to forget, he begins questioning his existence and the true cost of immortality. What once felt like freedom now feels like a curse that stripped his life of meaning.
In the human world, Peter loses his powers and starts aging, his once timeless body bound to time's slow decay. To survive, he becomes a private detective, taking on bizarre cases that blend crime, horror, and the supernatural.
He is joined by a small, fragile team:
Frankey, a lonely man burdened by the past;
his jealous fairy companion, torn between devotion and envy;
a rookie female detective, eager to learn but naive to the darkness;
and a schizophrenic doctor, trapped in a war with his own mind.
But when The Magician returns, Peter realizes that the case before him is more than a mystery - it's a reflection of his own inner chaos.
And as he dives deeper into the abyss, he must face the possibility that the true monster... may be himself.
ليست كل الحكايات تبدأ بابتسامة ..
بعضها يولد من صمتٍ طويل من نظرة لم تُفهم أو من قرار صغير كان كافيًا ليقلب كل شي
هنا لا تبحث عن أبطال خارقين ولا عن نهايات مثالية
هنا ستجد القلوب كما هي ضعيفة عنيدة محطّمة لكنها تقاوم
هذه الرواية ليست مجرد قصة بل مرآة
وقد ترى نفسك بين السطور دون أن تنتبه
مرحبًا بك في عالمٍ لا يشبه أحدًا
لكنّه قد يشبهك
