Magical Clothes
This is the story of Verity, the child who dared to shout the truth of the EmperorŐs New Clothes. Now all grown up, she is ready for a bawdy adventure of her own. The city of Blindestadt suffers under the oppressive rule of an emperor driven mad by shame. Public nudity is now a punishment, inflicted on those he disfavors, in the form of magical clothes that aren't really there.
Passage:
Verity craned her neck to look up towards the street. The streetlights, with their dancing little flames, made pools of light, but left deep pools of darkness in the alleyways. "Just up to the corner of the house," she whispered to herself. "That's far enough." She crept from the door, careful to close it slowly to make the least possible noise.
