Publisher's Summary
In this luminous sci-fi debut, a nonverbal autistic woman refuses to crumble as she stands against a dogmatic society clinging to a centuries-long conflict built on lies.
Citadel is the only human city on the alien planet Edalide, ruled by the biweekly tides that bring both deadly danger and much-needed resources. But the drowning waters, constant threat of starvation, and eternal cold aren’t the most dangerous challenge. For the Flooded Forest is ruled by demons: monsters from Hell sent by their vengeful god as penance for their ancestors’ rebellion. To save their souls and return to their former glory, Citadel must kill every single one.
Or so they believe.
Olivia lost her lover to the demons almost a year ago. But during a scientific expedition, a chance encounter reveals that the demons are sentient—a startling discovery that would get Olivia executed if she exposed it.
Driven by the burning need for answers, Olivia embarks on a dangerous journey into the Forest. There, she must face alien monsters, zealous warriors, and the demons of her own past. But change comes slowly, and always with a price…

Simply stunning
This book was absolutely incredible! I couldn't put it down. The story was engaging from the very first word, and as somebody on the spectrum myself, although, not to the same level as Olivia is in the story, I still found myself relating to her in numerous different ways.
Alongi has produced an amazing and interesting original world and story, one which I sincerely hopes that will be expanded upon in future books, all of which I eagerly look forward to listening to.
This book is a must-read (or listen) for any sci-fi or fantasy fanatic, as it incorporates many elements from both genres seamlessly. I can forsee myself listening to this story again and again and again many times over, and enjoying it more every time.

Felt like I was there. Wow
Had me glued to my phone start to finish. I absolutely love this book, the immersion, the characters, the emotions.
Fingers crossed for part two!

A Beautiful Tale
A beautiful tale sharing a simple honest view of a non-verbal ASD character. Olivia/Silver reminds me so much of one of my daughters. Thank you for this.

Dam!
This was well done, diverse characters and an intriguing plot, the book manages to show the depth of emotion that can be held by people, and by creatures that cannot express themselves in a traditional way, whilst highlighting the difficulties these people face
