EARLY ACCESS
Veil of the Midnight Waltz
My Dear Friend,
There are letters that arrive by duty, and there are those that arrive by fate. This, I believe, is the latter.
For what else could explain how, out of all the souls in the world, it is you I have chosen to confide in? A mere chance meeting at Storyville Emporium? No, my friend. There are no coincidences where mystery is concerned. And I fear I have stumbled into a mystery far greater than I alone can bear.
Even now, as my ink dries, the weight of it presses upon me. A letter arrived today, elegant and foreboding, with an invitation to the most coveted event of the season—The Midnight Waltz. A night where masks conceal more than faces, where whispered names carry both power and ruin. Someone, somewhere, has sent for me. But who? And for what purpose?
I must go. The pull is undeniable, the questions too insistent to ignore. But I cannot do this alone.
And so, I turn to you. Twice a month, my words will find you, smuggled through ink and paper, each letter another step into the unknown. Some will be hurried, scrawled with urgency. Others will arrive with something enclosed—a telegram, a newspaper clipping, perhaps even a key to something long forgotten. Clues. Fragments. Truths waiting to be unearthed.
But beware, my friend. Once you open the first envelope, there is no turning back. The Midnight Waltz is not merely an event. It is a threshold. A place where stories do not unfold, but unravel. And I fear that when all is revealed, neither you nor I shall emerge unchanged.
Walk with me. Let us cross this threshold together. Read my words. Hold them close. And when the time comes, when the final letter arrives, ask yourself—were you ever merely a reader? Or were you always meant to be part of the story?
The choice is yours. But choose swiftly. The waltz is about to begin.
Yours in trust,
Nathaniel Wren
London, 1874. The city hums with the rustle of silk gowns and the murmurs of the unseen. In gaslit corridors and opulent ballrooms, secrets are currency, and reputation is everything. Within the hallowed halls of the Harrington estate, where chandeliers glisten like captured stars and violins weep their haunting melodies, a single night unravels into scandal, mystery, and whispered dread.
Nathaniel Wren, a journalist of keen mind and insatiable curiosity, steps into this world with ink-stained fingers and an invitation to the most anticipated ball of the season. The Midnight Waltz—a night of elegance, of whispered alliances, of veiled glances exchanged between those who have everything and those who would take it from them. But before the final dance, the air thickens, the music stills, and the city’s elite awaken to a crime so audacious, so impossible, that it threatens to shake London’s very foundations.
A treasure vanishes. A name resurfaces—a name that carries more weight than gold, more terror than steel. Some call it legend, others whisper it like a prayer in the dark. In the tangled web of aristocrats and outlaws, of heiresses and captains, of poets and liars, Wren must navigate a path lined with deception and desire. Each clue leads deeper into the maze, each letter he writes is a plea for clarity, each revelation twists tighter around the throat of truth.
And yet, the deeper he digs, the more the world shifts beneath him. What is power but a well-told story? What is truth but the mask we dare not remove?
The Midnight Waltz is over. But the dance has only just begun.
An Invitation to the Shadows—Your Journey Begins
The seal is unbroken, the parchment cool against your fingertips. A letter has arrived—just for you. A whisper from another time, another world. The inked words call you closer, urging you to step beyond the veil of ordinary days into something far more intoxicating.
Twice a month, a letter will find its way to you, penned by the steady, knowing hand of Nathaniel Wren. Each one a confession, a revelation, a plea. Some will arrive adorned with sumptuous illustrations, others scribbled in haste, trembling with urgency. Telegrams clipped and precise. A torn newspaper, whispering scandal between its lines. A map, edges worn with the weight of too many secrets. Every envelope holds a new piece of the puzzle, and with each unfolding, you are drawn further into the waltz of deception and desire.
The Midnight Waltz. A single night of shimmering grandeur, where candlelight dances across silk and silver, where hushed conversations weave a web of intrigue. Where something precious was stolen, and something far more dangerous was set into motion. You will walk the candlelit halls of the Harrington estate, feel the velvet hush of secrets wrapped in silken whispers, and sense the pulse of something unseen, something waiting in the dark. Through Wren’s letters, you will witness love forbidden, alliances forged in shadow, and a name murmured in fear and reverence—Sir Reginald Malachite. A name that may be nothing more than a myth… or a legend too real to ignore.
With every letter, the mystery tightens its grip, urging you forward. Will you uncover the truth? Or will you, too, become ensnared in the myth?
The Midnight Waltz is not just a tale—it is an experience. One that will linger long after the final envelope arrives.
The question is… dare you open it?

A whisper in the dark. A legend in the making. A truth no one is ready to face.
Immerse yourself in a year-long journey of secrets and suspense, where every two weeks, a letter arrives, drawing you deeper into a world of mystery, intrigue, and deception.
London, 1874. A city of whispered intrigues and glittering deception. The air is thick with candlelit secrets, the perfume of scandal, the weight of unspeakable truths.
Within the gilded halls of the Harrington estate, a single night changes everything. A stolen fortune, a name feared yet unseen, and a love forbidden by society’s iron hand. Each thread in this web leads to a deeper mystery—one that journalist Nathaniel Wren must untangle before it ensnares him completely.
Through twenty-four letters, penned with urgency and laced with confession, Wren draws you into the labyrinth of his discovery. A heiress trapped between duty and desire. A captain whose past is as treacherous as the seas he sails. A rogue’s gallery of suspects, each harboring secrets darker than London’s fog. And at the heart of it all, Sir Reginald Malachite—a specter of legend, a ghost of power, a name that bends men to their knees... yet perhaps, a lie spun so well it became truth.
Step into the waltz. Listen closely.
The truth is never what it seems.
But once you know, will you ever be the same?

A fun new [old] way to tell a story!
Got my first letter from @storyvilleletters yesterday and what a delight! The letter was 2 pages front and back, introducing us to the main character of the story. We sat on the porch- mom, me and sis-in-law- and I read the letter aloud. We all three are ready for the next letter that comes in a couple of weeks! A fun new [old] way to tell a story!

Wow!
Wow, I just finished reading my second letter. I love this era the story is based on so I looked for some 1920s ambience music while I read the letter and my not so perfect British accent and I was transported into the Lost Manor. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I can’t wait for my third letter. ❤️ I have a feeling Mrs. Higginbotham and Elizabeth are going to be great friends. Can’t wait to read more about Uncle Pennington’s adventures around the world. ☕️🗺️
