The Objects Tongue
In the decaying Rust Belt city of Ironwood, the impossible becomes reality. After a cosmic event known as "The Fracture," the inanimate objects of the city awaken, their silent histories and forgotten memories now given voice. What secrets do they hold? What truths have they witnessed? And why now, amidst the city's industrial decline, have they chosen to speak? The mystery of their awakening beckons, inviting you to delve into their enigmatic past.
Paget, a quirky archivist with a knack for cataloging the past, discovers she can understand their language-the Object's Tongue. But as she delves deeper into Ironwood's fractured reality, she uncovers a far greater threat. The Master Maker, a primordial force of sterile perfection, seeks to erase individuality and chaos, imposing a suffocating order on the Spirit Weave-a metaphysical network connecting all existence.
With the help of Kyawthuite shards, rare crystals that amplify her connection to the Spirit Weave, Paget must navigate the labyrinthine currents of Ironwood's surreal transformation. Guided by Cora, a mysterious mentor with ties to the ancient goddess Ma'at, and joined by Jax, a pragmatic ally with his own connection to the Spirit Weave, Paget uncovers the city's forgotten truths. The sentient objects are not just witnesses to Ironwood's history-they are its resistance, its rebellion, and its hope. Their role as the city's resistance will inspire you with their unwavering determination.
Darkly humorous, melancholic, and surreal, The Object's Tongue is a tale of decay, memory, and transformation. It explores the profound and unique connection between humanity and the objects we leave behind, weaving a story of cosmic rebellion, forgotten histories, and the fragile beauty of imperfection. This unique connection will fill you with wonder and make you see the world in a new light. For readers who love speculative fiction with rich worldbuilding and thought-provoking themes, this is a journey into a world where even the smallest objects have a story to tell-and a voice to fight with.
