Piranesi's home is no ordinary house - its endless corridors are lined with countless statues, and an ocean surges through its floors. Though surrounded by this surreal, dreamlike world, Piranesi is unafraid, understanding its tides and patterns. But his isolated existence is disrupted by the arrival of a mysterious figure known as The Other, who seeks Piranesi's help in uncovering a Great and Secret Knowledge. As Piranesi explores further, evidence of a third person in the house comes to light, leading him to uncover a shocking truth that upends his understanding of reality. Blending the wondrous imagination of Neil Gaiman's "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" with the haunting atmosphere of Madeline Miller's "Circe", "Piranesi" invites readers into an astonishing new world - one that will linger in the mind long after the final page.
