Apricot jam and costume feathers and an afternoon that almost gets to be perfect.

Feathers and fabric and children's laughter — a day spent building something bright with your own hands and the help of people who showed up when you asked. It feels like winning. It feels like proof that the world can still be steered.

—

Narrated by Rebecca Hasler.

Set in D.W. Sheppard’s vast interconnected world where protective Gates hold back deadly monsters and treacherous flora, where safety is never guaranteed.
