When Ioram is sent away by his parents to the remote mountain village of Trident Burgh, it seems like nothing more than punishment, a way to "heal" his fragile mind after the loss of his best friend, Philip. But in those narrow alleys, beneath layers of silence and ancient folklore, Ioram begins to question everything: What is real? What is imagined? And what refuses to stay buried? Seven days. Seven inexplicable events. And one boy, Atropos, who either knows too much... or doesn't exist at all. A story where the line between madness and truth fades with every step. Welcome to Mad Trident. You won't make it out.
