About this book

Summary

In a world consumed by The Graying, a parasitic darkness that feeds on human memories and colors, a young man named Kaelen and a small group of survivors venture to the Black Spire to stop the source of the rot. They discover that the darkness thrives on abstract emotions and nostalgia, weaving human history into a shroud to extinguish the sun. Kaelen and his companions realize that their only weapon is the grit of reality. By clinging to mundane, concrete memories—like the smell of a tannery or the weight of a tool—they poison the darkness with the friction of living. To break the Spire, they sacrifice their most precious personal memories, trading their pasts to reclaim a future. They return to a colorless, broken village and begin the slow, humble work of rebuilding humanity through manual labor, one nail and one seed at a time.
