Identities discovered after decades of wondering. Friends separated, friendships tested, true feelings laid out bare. A new country on the horizon; one where traditions are different, citizens are icy, and the weather is cold. Meanwhile, in Torrinni, coups continue to unfold and more brew in the darkness; and Céleste is deprived of Marguerite (true name: Prudence) and having to investigate all these obscure secrets on her own.

WELCOME TO GIROMA!

The other fictional country of this series. It’s meant to emulate a colder, darker side of Totresia, with stricter rules but still a fairly peaceful population. It and Totresia were meant to be one country, but the English settlers who’d set out to found Totresia got separated, and disagreed on the location for the country to be set up. And so, two countries were born, instead.

The capital of Giroma is Westten, a beautiful city often covered in snow, with its castle situated on a steep cliff, overlooking a bustling town split in two by a massive bridge.
