Shards: A Collection
As contrasted to a world saturated with noise, 'Shards' explores the profundity of silence and the quest for enlightenment, especially via correspondence thinking. Through various episodic, interconnected stories inspired by ancient mythologies and the contemporary literary canon, the collection explores the shardkeeper's adventures--the adventures of an immortal custodian of fragmented realities. The collection's stories delve into the shardkeeper's encounters with varied beings and worlds; profound truths about existence, identity, and transcendence are unveiled. From an apprentice inheriting her master's immortal mantle to morals grappling with fate and divinity, 'Shards' invites readers to imagine a world unlike our own, glimpse the beautiful ephemerality of nature, and engage with the endless pursuit for understanding.
