Umbra

By Yana Barbelo

Ohno Hoia is a guardian of a mysterious collection of seeds and a lonely soul tormented by her hideous, malignant shadow. What world did she come from? What century? She can't remember. She is a stranger to herself, a God's mistake.

Driven by the desperate wish to break free from the shadow and save the seeds, Ohno arrives at present-day California's desecrated shores. There she plants a garden the likes of which had not been seen since the days of Eden. While the garden's extraordinary power shocks humanity out of despair and transforms the land, Ohno's shadow grows fiercer and soon begins to threaten everything she holds dear. Now Ohno has no choice but to follow her tormentor as it takes her into the surreal, terrifying wilderness of her own soul - The Forest of Everlasting Night.

There she must meet the demons of her own making and ask the question she is dreading most: Who am I?

Even if the answer kills her. Even if it already did...

A spellbinding blend of dark fantasy and satire perfect for fans of Clive Barker's "Cabal," "Midian Unmade," Angela Carter, Neil Gaiman, Kazuo Ishiguro.
