Summary
Nine years ago, Simon lured Artemy into performing an intimate rite that was meant to let them both plumb the secrets of the Living Earth. But the Earth was more powerful than even Simon expected, taking possession of Artemy's body and fusing itself with his soul.
By sending Artemy to the capital, Simon and Isidor gave him the chance to live something like an ordinary life. But now, an urgent letter from his father has called Artemy home, and the Earth is reaching out to reclaim its beloved vessel. With a fatal disease raging through his town and an inhuman, inexorable soul growing like roots through his own, Artemy may have to choose between living on as himself and saving the people he loves.
