Piranesi

Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. Then messages begin to appear, scratched out in chalk on the pavements. There is someone new in the House. But who are they and what do they want? Lost texts must be found; secrets must be uncovered. The world Piranesi thought he knew is becoming strange and dangerous, The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its kindness infinite.
