Never Assume Fear Leaves No Mark
In the isolated valley town of Solos, fear arrives at night. What begins in the mind leaves marks on the body, and the town turns inward while trying to find a cause.
Nineteen-year-old Eve Halloway knows the Parables of Solos by heart. She studies her mother's medical journals by lamplight and tries not to think about the strange things her hands can do.
When the illness arrives that feeds on fear, with bruises flowering on skin and crows arriving in dreams, Eve's mother takes to the woods to find a cure leaving Eve behind to run the clinic.
Many in Solos are afraid of what Eve can do, they call it witchcraft. Now it may be the very thing that saves them.
As the boundary between psychological and physical reality begins to collapse, Eve discovers a plane of existence called the Vein. It may lead her to the most beautiful epiphanies or it could walk her straight to the edge of destruction.
Solos is a debut novel about what Eve discovers. The mind, when it stops being feared, is the most powerful force in any room.
