In a city wounded by a supernatural event lives a forgotten child who was born without a heart. He does not sleep. And he has no need to eat or breathe, a condition shared by everyone who also sustained his loss.
Visions overshadow and illuminate his path, a labyrinthine journey he hopes will guide him to a worthy purpose, a surrogate family, and a notion of home.
He is not alone. A woman reclaims herself in the wilds. And she becomes an agent of the transformation that restored her through the infusion of a tribal elder’s ghost.
Others are not so fortunate. Their loss exerts an implosive gravity that devours them. Yet there is reprieve in death, that divine broker of release.
Nature is an alchemical presence throughout, transmuting horror and trauma into harmony and belonging. And transcendence flows like a rejuvenative stream through the dystopian constructs of the world herein.
