Five hundred years ago, humanity went through a dark age. Art, music and creation came to almost a standstill and the world was plunged into cultural darkness. In response, the Etherium High Council, the governing body of Muse, passed a series of laws known as the Grey Laws. These laws banished creativity from the Etherium, leaving it an bland, colorless place. Without its original vibrancy, the Muses went back to inspiring the outer worlds, and for a time, there was peace.

But five hundred years is a long time to go without life, and an underground movement is stirring. The Grey Laws are inverting on themselves. The blandness is making Muses increasingly apathetic. Once again the outer worlds are in crisis. With less and less inspiration, talents are going unrealized and people are settling for "sensible" pursuits like chemistry and accounting. With the High Council too set in their ways to repeal the Grey Laws, the outlook is bleak.

One man seeks to change that. Tyrr de Melete lost everything five hundred years ago. Now he wants to right the wrongs the Grey Laws have caused. With the aid of the rising daughters of Aoide and Mneme, he rallies a band of rebels to turn the Etherium upside down and take back the creativity the High Council banished.

Thanks! I didn't get the book finished, but I made 50k by midnight. Then declared a writing holiday. An entire week without extracurricular writing. Lasted five hours.

I hear that lol. Thankfully I got mine finished, but not without some very strange turns in the characters and introductions of crazy ideas lol.

But of course -- all for fun, and fun for all. hehe.
