Book Overview
The Word came first. The Body came second. The Listening is what came after.
Blake Masters has written the account of the inheritance and the account of the instrument. What remains is the hardest volume to write: what the frequency was always pointing at. From M rdalsj kull to Ghana's Volta Region - where an Ashanti grandmother reads cymatic geometries forming in a goatskin under her hand - the final movement gathers seven centuries of preparation into a single question: what does the organism do once it can hear?
There is a chamber at the bottom of an Ozark lake. There is a sphere in that chamber whose carvings no living person has read. There are seven satchels a Bohemian monk scattered across seven cities in 1267 - Prague, Paris, Rome, Constantinople, Uppsala, Toledo, and one location he refused to name. Some of those doors open in this volume. Some, deliberately, do not.
The Kingdom is the conclusion of the Masters X Trilogy - scripture and physics, signal and love, and the discovery that the frequency was never the satchel.
The complete trilogy is available in one omnibus volume.
