Hissun, a street boy, got a job as a government clerk in the Labyrinth in return for helping Lord Valentin. Now he is a clerk at the House of Records. His task is to organize the archives of tax collectors from all the continents of the planet. You can get discouraged from that. Useless work—no one will ever need his finds and results…
But in the Labyrinth, next to the House of Records, there’s a much more interesting place: the Register of Soul Memories.
Here are stored millions of telepathically uploaded minds of various beings who lived here over thousands of years. Their lives are full of stories about love and loss, triumph and fall… And as Hissun plunges into the histories of those who lived in other times, he creates his own chronicle—the chronicle of Majipoor.
