Baggot, the tithingman, terrify young William. As Nina runs across an alternate Philadelphia balanced on a knifes edge between celebration and catastrophe, through parades, worship houses, museums, hidden mansions, and the place she once called home, shes forced to confront her past in order to take charge of her ownand perhaps everyonesfuture. It is December 1681, and the words of Mr. Before its over, she will discover secret societies battling for power in an increasingly precarious world and become custodian of a horrifying secretand the target of a mysterious hunter. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving. Tonight, Nina will put on a dress of blackest black, and attend the biggest party of the year. Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through to 23 December. But when she gets a chance call from Max, one of the Saturn Clubs best-connected members and her last remaining friend, the favor he asks will plunge her back into the Clubs wild solstice masquerade, on a mysterious errand she cannot say no to.
Like Thanksgiving or Halloween, Saturnalia has become a purely American holiday despite its pagan roots and nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets their troubles for a moment.įor Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel reminder of the night that changed everything for her. Since then, shes eked out a living by telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has turned out to be more useful than she could have ever imagined.įor most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brief winter reprieve for the beleaguered people of the historic city, which is being eroded by extreme weather, a collapsing economy, and feverish summerswhose disease carrying mosquitos are perhaps the only thing one can count on. We publish poetry of high merit, by new and established writers and to encourage literature of a non-commercial and challenging nature. In doing so, she abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the social ladder. The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina walked away from Philadelphias elite Saturn Clubwith its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest in alchemy and the occult.
