"MESMERIZING!"
"A BRILLIANT PIECE OF MAGICAL REALISM."
"CREATIVE...RICHLY MOVING."

"Outside, a few birds began to sing. Color glanced up at them through the window, wondering how they stayed in the sky. And are those really songs they're singing? Maybe they aren't making music at all, she mused. Maybe they're just screaming."

Color Quinlan lives alone with her father in the town of Andromeda, along the River of Lights in the shadow of a tall mountain. It's difficult to describe their bustling town. As a child, Color imagined it was a deep dark void, beautiful, but filled with endless noise. Time does not exist in this void. It is difficult to say when the noise started. It is as cyclical and ever-present as the fire within the stars above. There was never a time when the noise was not present, nor is there a place where she can go to escape it. The sound of suffering is omnipresent. That is, until she meets someone just as strange and magical as Andromeda itself.

A delightfully entertaining, whimsical, and thought-provoking exploration of friendship, love, and reckoning that traces a young woman's unconventional and ultimately tragic relationship with a girl from her childhood.
