Synopsis
On a distant colony world called Home, a young man named Seyt is tasked with chronicling his elder brother Dore's quest to find their missing Father and the source of a sacred River. An elaborate, multilayered debut blending space opera, family romance, and quest fable, laced with metafictional experimentation and dark humor.
