Most people spend their whole lives never touching magick, and some are gripped by it before they ever open their eyes. Is there a place in this world for a child cursed with the hunger of the Moons? For a child with a song that wants to be sung? Will they devour one another or find salvation in each other’s embrace?
The world of Taldun is shaped by mysterious forces of the Seas, a power that gives and takes life. Touching its waters brings death to most people, but in rare cases some survive it and become magi. Evin and Near come from very different circumstances, one grew up in a tiny village and stumbled upon magick by accident, and the other was born with it and spent their life locked away in a temple. Despite this, as if pulled together by the currents of the Sea, their paths cross, and now a storm is brewing.
The story deals with emotionally heavy themes.
