Start reading →Here, the moon is a living presence, and once every hundred years it leaves the sky to rest upon the earth. Its absence unsettles the world: tides fall still, stars dim, and dreams grow harder to hold. In a quiet farming village, young Oliver and his little sister, Rose, find a silent, silver child in a field. Its arrival draws them beyond the familiar fields and toward the remnants of forgotten kingdoms, on a journey to discover how it might return to the sky. The farther they travel, the more the siblings must rely on one another—and the more the child’s presence seems to touch Rose in ways Oliver cannot explain. A tender, mythic fantasy about family, old wonders, and the wishes that can make a journey harder than any road.
The Moon
Silent but increasingly expressive, it notices small acts of care and responds through gestures and shifting light. Its curiosity grows alongside its awareness.
Found weakened in a field in the shape of a small silver child, the Moon cannot speak. It travels with Oliver and Rose as it gradually regains strength and forms a bond with Rose.
Rose
Warm and quietly perceptive, she gives unfamiliar beings room to show who they are. She speaks gently but can be firm about what matters to her.
Oliver’s little sister, Rose, becomes attached to the silent silver child they discover. She carries a private understanding of her connection to it and does not want Oliver to know what she believes it will cost.
Oliver
Protective and observant, he focuses on practical details when afraid. He tends to speak plainly and hold back what he cannot yet explain.
A young boy in a quiet farming village, Oliver lives with his little sister, Rose. After they find a silver child in a field, he takes responsibility for finding a way to help it.
