城。それは無為にして空虚なる巨大な骸(むくろ)。世界を蝕んだ魔女の悪意の果てに、その城塞は百万の生命を吸い、千万の呪詛(じゅそ)を喰らって造られた。事件は、荒野の中心に聳えるこの悪夢の巣窟に、魔導を極めんとする者どもが集いしとき起こる。呪いとしても不条理。魔法としても不可解。殺戮としても異常――数奇にして非情なる謎の果てに、したたる血さえも焼け爛(ただ)れる、底無しで出口のない連続大量殺人の惨劇が幕を開ける――

I want those twins to derisively laugh at me as I have my entire life destroyed in front of me.

Not as good a mystery as Dragonslayer, but storywise and characterwise it does a lot of interesting things, and the worldbuilding is sick.

I also want Li Carz to throw a magic meteorite into me.
