Urbis. Città di pietra

Rome, today. Ade is a penniless suburban boy, a nerd through and through and passionate about fantasy role-playing games. During a clandestine event organised in Villa Borghese, he unleashes a power he didn’t know he possessed and brings the statue of Apollo and Daphne to life. But he hasn’t just destroyed a work of art, he has freed a wild nymph seeking revenge. For thousands of years, Rome has been the scene of a war between the ferox, ancient and menacing animal-like creatures, and the archmages, the only ones capable of stopping them by turning them into statues. Thanks to the help of Mia, a stray cat with a double life, the doors of Arcadia open up for him, the exclusive academy that can teach him to control his powers. This means he has the opportunity to make amends for the damage he has done… and finally find his place in the world. But the stakes are higher than they seem, and between battles to the last drop of ichor, phantom arts and monster hunts in iconic locations around Rome, Ade must learn to juggle the secrets of Arcadia and the world of the archmages before an ancient evil awakens.
