In this postapocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past.

In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past.

The Mud Whale has been overrun with tárichos, a virulent parasitic growth that turns everyone it touches into mindless husks controlled by the Nous Geráki. The only way to stop the spread of the tárichos is to destroy the Nous, but that won’t be an easy task—or one without sacrifice.

But when calamity follows close on their heels and dark omens gather on the green fields of Kivotós, they learn that when you can’t escape fate, your only choice is to face it.

In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past.

The emperor and the great Nous Ánthropos have arrived on the shores of Kívotos! Chakuro tries to stand against the emperor and his terrible plan, but the show of resistance only gets him and Lykos pulled to the bottom of the Sea of Sand. Everyone knows that nothing survives sinking under the sands, but death isn’t what awaits them in them depths—it’s knowledge.
