Welcome to the ruins of Venice, a refuge for the lost and wandering.

All her shades ask for in return is your soul…

Who created that slide of silk across your skin as you reached for your cinematic lover? Who captured the crushing weight of the grizzly as you fought for your life in the fictional wilderness?

Brilliant immersion artist Alyse Kate Bryant of Lone Pine Pictures will do almost anything for the perfect sensory file—safety and sanity be damned.

Anything so long as it frees her even for a moment from the relentless grief, the spiraling loneliness.

And she’ll take you with her as she plumets heart first into the darkness…

Welcome, dearest reader, to full immersion storytelling.

Fall in love with reading again, body and soul.

How long has it been since you truly set yourself free…

You remember the nights you once spent tucked under the covers, devouring a book and just dreaming. You remember keeping step with the other characters down the shadowed path in the steep hills. You remember joining them beside the campfire and sharing provisions and deep thoughts in the flicker of the firelight.

You remember soaring in the sense of belonging you found between those pages.

Before all the noise.

Before all the demands clipped your wings, left your imagination earthbound and small.

Gift yourself a sanctuary where you can dream again…

Sit down by the fire, Fellow Wanderer.

Fall with Alyse, with us, into the flooded ruins of Venice…

Slip inside the refuge created for souls like ours, souls who need to dance to the song of the Muses.

Slip into a sanctuary for our Guild of Wanderers where story isn’t just words on a page, but the crackling feel of champagne against the tongue; the wonder of ancient ruins whose story demands we stretch our hearts and minds; the tattered note we smooth over with our own callused fingertips.

Don't just read it. Live it.

And once you have drunk it down, join us around the bonfire. Gather around the flames and set free your thoughts and take in inspiration from your Fellow Wanderers.

Step inside and belong.

Dearest Fellow Wanderer, set down your pack, settle in, and let the comforting warmth of the fire call forth your story…
