Strange things happen beneath the enormous canopy of the giant sapseed-a plant sacred to the nadanians, the indigenous peoples who have long inhabited Nada's now-colonized asteroids. Fired from his job as a civil servant for refusing to participate in the hollow rituals of corporate reconciliation, Liam Melnykczuk retreats to Rock Seven Breezes: a small asteroid where a single cottage overlooks a cloudy interstellar lake.
It's meant to be a place of peace.
A place to think.
And binge-drink interstellar wine.
Then the whispering begins.
As Liam's isolation deepens, so does his exposure to a world he insisted was only myth. NADA is a place of aliens and ASMR, camgirls and exotic fauna-a future where bureaucracy, belief, and technology grind against ancient spiritual forces that were never as harmless as they seemed.
