Description
Etheria's world is turned upside down when her eccentric father decides to trade her for a piece of exquisite jade. In a society where value is often measured in material possessions, Etheria's beauty and spirit become collateral in a transaction that turns her life into a kaleidoscope of strange encounters and surreal experiences. As she navigates a world rife with peculiar characters, she grapples with the intertwining themes of identity, value, and autonomy.
Driven by a complex relationship with her father and the unsettling circumstances surrounding her trade, Etheria embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The vivid imagery and rich prose transport the reader to a landscape where the line between the tangible and the ethereal blurs, challenging the perceptions of love, sacrifice, and the essence of one's worth. Through her perilous adventure, Etheria learns to reclaim her voice and assert her place in a world that seeks to define her by its own standards.
