When Alamyra is chosen as the sacrificial maid for the Festival of Tyrenes, the world turns upside down. Old gods come alive, a forgotten king vows revenge, and new powers are unlocked.
She was supposed to die for the One God, but the Idols of Rhei had other plans.

This is a story of verse, power, and violence. This is a story of Anonymous. This is the ‘Tragedy of Taranto’. #scotwriterpitch2025
