The Vibrant Pollutant

The local battle for the sky was won. The global war for the waters has just begun.

By weaving the great Pastel Shroud, Gideon the Webster saved the inland valleys from the burning, radioactive shards of the White Sun. But on the low-frequency planet of Tintalia, no energy is ever truly destroyed. True to the ancient, multi-layered design of the internal clockwork ballast, the planet processed that atmospheric threat by drawing the toxic color radiation deep into its subterranean marrow.

Now, the poison has leaked into the global water tables.

The pristine, calming expanses of the Periwinkle Oceans are beginning to boil, turning into a turbulent, heavy mass of hyper-saturated Sapphire Blue. Driven mad by the high-velocity color radiation seeping into their gills, the colossal Century-Slumberer Sharks have broken their eons-old hibernation to strike out against the shoreline. Along the bluffs, the majestic, antelope-like Periwinkle Alicorns are drinking from the contaminated tides, causing their crystalline quartz horns to spark with uncontrolled, destructive blue lightning towers that threaten to shatter the remaining Turf-Kin fishing villages.

To save his people, Gideon must leave the shelter of the white stone mountains and travel to the boiling shores, armed only with the raw materials of his craft and the inherited muscle memory of his hands..

The unweaving continues in Volume 2 of Michael E. Thornleys high-stakes duology, a suspenseful, creature-driven odyssey defined by the unyielding friction of materials, the coordination of traditional trades, and a desperate struggle for ecological survival.
