Nightshade

The book opens with a memory of falling — screaming into an emptiness that swallows sound, chest collapsing against impossible wind. Clouds slip away like vapor overhead. Whispers accompany the descent: the sun will turn to darkness, the moon to blood. Do not be afraid. With graceless impact, the narrator is reborn into the putrid depths of darkness. This fragment — suspended between death and creation — sets the tone for a story spanning centuries and parallel planes of existence, where falling and rising are not opposites but the same motion viewed from different ends of time.
