Rites

Book Hunt

The Dark Alley is flooded with countless unknown things – some are stolen goods, others are even worse... My task is to reach into that murky stream, seize the moment, catch a wave – or a book. Once it's out of that river, it becomes as perfect and intriguing as the rest of my collection, the bookstore owner says, as he invites you – or someone as skilled in combat as you – to join him in "catching waves."
