Child of the River is the first book of the end times; the beginning chapter in the final great epic of a mysterious civilization. In it, a singular young man named Yama makes his way from a ghostly city of the dead to a metropolis of living wonders, and through the labyrinthine country of the mind, in search of a lost past and a destiny that is both his and his world's. Every path Yama follows - each hairbreadth escape and unanticipated adventure - brings him a step closer to the staggering truth about his heritage and his purpose. And exposes, bit by bit, the astonishing reality of his world, which is not what it appears to be.
