Description
In a world where vision is a privilege few enjoy, seventeen-year-old Fennel lives a life shaped by darkness. As a Groundling, she has adapted to an existence devoid of sight, relying on her other senses to navigate the vibrant, albeit hidden, beauty of the forest that surrounds her. The cacophony of nature, from rustling leaves to the distant call of creatures, becomes her guide as she journeys through life, facing challenges that test her resilience and courage.
Fennel's unique condition isolates her from the rest of society, where seeing is believed to be a gift. The weight of judgment from those who walk the streets with their eyes wide open is a constant burden. Yet, in her quest for belonging and understanding, she stumbles upon secrets that could alter the course of her world. These revelations not only challenge her perception of the people around her but also her understanding of herself.
As Fennel uncovers the truth about her society and her own capabilities, she embarks on a transformative journey that encourages her to embrace who she truly is. With determination and an unyielding spirit, she fights against the unseen scourge threatening her world, discovering that strength often lies in the most unexpected places. In the depths of her darkness, she discovers light, community, and the power of the inner self.
