Even if the Light Forgets, Volume I
She's spent her whole life learning not to need anyone. He's spent his learning he doesn't deserve to be needed.
Nefra lives in a bunker beneath a ruined observatory with her uncle Enkin, brilliant, sharp-tongued, and trapped in a doll's body after a ritual he performed to protect her tore his soul from his flesh. A signal draws them into ancient ruins, where they meet Aurel: half flesh, half crystal, the only known survivor of a transformation that should have killed him. He carries an artefact of unknown origin and asks only one thing: not to travel alone.
A story about memory, devotion, and what it means to be seen.
"The philosophical discussions reminded me of reading Brave New World. I love texts that ponder the nature of human life, and this is a story that provides that in spades."

An Index of Vanishing, Part One
1938. A German officer is sent to a remote monastery in Tibet to oversee a classified experiment. His orders are simple: observe, report, remain detached.
But the subject he has been assigned to is a young woman who can vanish into thin air and travel instantaneously through space, who reads Goethe and smokes in the courtyard, and who looks at him like she has already decided something he has no idea about.
Set against the silence of Tibet before the start of war, this is the story of a man, told through his own journals, who was sent to study a weapon and found a person.
The Strange Mercy of Listening
1935, East Prussia. A man spends his days sending messages for others, and his nights recording the life of a woman whose name he does not know. The silence becomes his devotion.
Then she walks into his telegraph office and places a piece of her life in his hands.
