BOOK ONE · PART I
AETHER
A boy leaves the world he knows,
and begins to see how far its troubles reach.
PART I
THE FIRST ROAD.
Aether’s story begins in Gray Vale, where the world is small enough to feel whole and every life has a name.
Across twenty-six chapters, that world widens through loss, responsibility, travel, and the growing realization that distant troubles may be part of the same larger problem.
