Circumstantial Fortune: Volume 1

En savoir plus sur le livre

How does one take back the unforgivable? How does one carry on when no one else would be capable of going on living with themselves? Yet how can one give up? Circumstantial Fortune takes place in Meraki, one of only two final outposts of humanity left on earth, and is an intimate yet disjointed look at the life and times of Joseph Inganno, one of the Others, the magical beings tasked with keeping Meraki and its neighbor Lacuna thriving and above sea level. Choices made impulsively, with the best of intentions, well within the bounds of the folly of youth, haunt Joseph in the circumstances - and unexpected happiness - of the first chapter. The lives of the remaining citizens of the world are so intertwined and engrained with one another that it is impossible for anyone, Joseph especially, to decipher what is the predestined work of generations of optionless inbreeding among the Others, and what is their own inability to make the right decision.
