It has been eight hundred years since human beings came through the Door of Hasra, but the land still hasn’t fully accepted their incursion. People no longer die of eating innocent looking vegetables, but monsters still roam the hills and forest. And now the earth itself is rejecting the buried dead. Manrie, a slave in the library city of Libreigia, must discover what is causing the dead to walk again, and whether there can be an end to the enmity between human beings and the land that they stumbled into. copyright KPB Stevens, 2024
