Tonight on Harlots of Spooktalk, we welcome special guest Lilse Asalt, author of the dark fantasy novel When the City Sleeps, for an upgraded, in-depth interview you won’t want to miss.

Set in the haunting city of Nilport — where revenge is welcome and all magic is legal — this spellbinding story follows Subin, a woman resurrected by arcane forces and given only seven days of extended life to unravel the mystery of her own death. Transformed into an undead vessel fit to haunt the castle she once sought to rule, Subin must decide if the truth is worth losing her life all over again.

With themes of betrayal, lost love, vengeance, dark magic, and power reclaimed, When the City Sleeps pulls readers into a world where red-eyed commanders guard the bay, former lovers hide deadly secrets, and fallen petals whisper to the fates.

In this upgraded interview, we dive deep with Lilse Asalt into:

• The inspiration behind Nilport

• The creation of Subin and her transformation

• Writing heartbreak as power

• Building a world where magic has no rules

• And what revenge really costs
