Soft Light

300 years after Bronze Age Earth fractured into pieces, two of humanity’s scattered populations have reopened trade across a barrier no living thing can touch. The unprecedented survival of an emigrant between their realms opens possibilities neither side had entertained and poses questions no one is prepared to answer. Now, a listless scholar blessed with all the powers of a flashlight has two short weeks to shape and witness history before another power wrests the matter from his hands. When an overdue adventure leads beyond the border of his world into a land of living weapons abandoned by his vanished gods, he may realize too late that some doors are better left closed. Slow-burn, Ancient Greek high fantasy with subtle cosmic horror. Violence is infrequent but brutal.
