About This Book

A collection of six interconnected stories set on a far-future Earth where the sun is nearly exhausted. In this entropic world, science has been forgotten and replaced by a rigorous system of magic based on ancient mathematics. Characters navigate decadent civilizations and decaying landscapes in a fatalistic struggle for survival.
