A world adrift, where every life burns briefly and brightly.
On the drifting island of Mud Whale, gifted children with supernatural powers live short, fragile lives surrounded by endless seas of sand. Chakuro, the young archivist of the island, records their joys and sorrows as outside forces threaten to shatter their isolated world. Beautifully illustrated and deeply emotional, this fantasy series explores memory, loss, and what it means to live meaningfully when time is limited.
