Book excerpt: Umbra is a story of one woman's journey into the wilderness of her own being, a deliciously weird tale, both universal and unique, deeply disturbing, darkly funny, and altogether unforgettable. When Ohno Hoia, an amnesiac solitary seafarer, wakes up on a ship Umbra, the earth is desecrated, and humanity is moored in despair. As she navigates unknown waters for the search of land, she discovers that she's in possession of two extraordinary things: an ancient collection of seeds and a shadow of most wicked and unruly nature.After Ohno lands in a strange new world of modern-day California, she plants a garden the likes of which have not been seen since the days of Eden. As her plants' magical powers break the spell of collective apathy across North America, Ohno's vile shadow begins to threaten everything she holds dear. Through a series of mysterious coincidences and chance encounters, she realizes that the future of humanity is inextricably linked to her unremembered past, and her shadow will never stop plotting to destroy her until she asks the scariest of questions: Who am I?Even if discovering the answers kills her. Even if it already did. An explosive combo of enchanting fairy tale and piercing satire perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, John Crowley, Kazuo Ishiguro's Buried Giant, and Lewis Carol's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
