From publisher blurb: Engimatic is a word bandied about a lot in the world of Solstice. Even moreso in the onyx prison of Absalom. The Chimeric Gargouille is another enigmatic element, filling the Black Monk’s ‘world’ and keeping the inhabitants asking the question… “what is it?” It stands guard over Absalom. But does it guard the prisoners? Or serve the Black Monk?
