The Name Thief
Reclaiming Your Stolen Identity Before You Fade Into Nothingness

In the smog-choked industrial slums of Lower Ashbourne, Echo is literally disappearing. She wakes to find her fingertips have turned into a glassy translucence, a terrifying sign of 'the fading.' Without a true name to anchor her soul to the mortal plane, the universe is slowly erasing her existence. Alongside her grounded and street-smart companion Zoe, Echo must navigate a world of damp wool, crushed coal, and desperation. Her only hope for survival lies within the Spire of the Nameless, the obsidian palace of Emperor Ethan Perry. Known as the Name Thief, Perry hoards thousands of stolen identities within his Vault of Glass. As her physical reality unspools and the Emperor’s guards hunt for the fading, Echo must find a way to steal back her name before she vanishes into nothingness. In a city that respects only the solid, Echo is running out of time to remain real.
