Endless rain weighs down the lands of Flavius, a provincial nobleman who is forced to leave his estate and entrust his daughter Marta to his brother in order to travel to the palace of the Triple Empire. Initially lost in a court life teeming with intrigues and rumors, he is eventually recruited into the service of his expanding homeland and sent to the four corners of the world.

Meanwhile, Marta grows up surrounded by books, raised by her philosopher uncle with a passion for chemistry. But will that be enough to spare her from the cruel fate reserved for women in the Games of Chance, a matrimonial ritual held in the labyrinth of the Emperor's gardens?

The imperial palace is a perpetual theater, living to the rhythm of lavish celebrations, far from war and calamities. Yet, within its walls, an intangible threat looms, casting a shadow over the motto of the Triple Empire, Adoremus Christum In Æternum. Could the oracle’s predictions and Marta’s emancipatory drive signal the end of this world?

After the dystopian universes of tremblez enfance z46, volt évier z82, and grandes kitty z97, EMG transports us into a world inspired by early 19th-century Central Europe, without abandoning its 3D graphics or its playful approach to storytelling. In this intricate web of characters, subtle page permutations open secret passages for readers to explore the mechanics of the plot.
