Description
In an empty, barren moor, beside a polluted river and a dead forest lives a solitary old man performing a long-forgotten craft.
He is rumored to have murdered his own wife and children.
A powerful family's ancient purity has been broken as the banyan tree representing the sanctity of their name has started to decay.
So, to fulfill a prophecy, they must open an underground cellar for the first time in centuries.
Only days before the fated night, an escaped convict recites a dream that earns him a place at the estate and the family's prodigal youngest son disappears!
These are the absurdities our protagonists—a young man from the capital and a fisherman boy with a mysterious past—must face, as they partake in a journey where they confront the perils of growing into the realities of adulthood.
Advance Praise
"The world of Children of Decay carries a specific, natural beauty whose magic survives through scenery and people. There seems to be a sacred connection between nature and man, a relation that is threatened by both the industrialization, and the greed of man.
I highly appreciate the amount of mystery present in the text and the rich descriptions that make even the daily routine seem unique, significant and almost magical. There were sentences and sections that I read twice or thrice just for the pleasure of reading. Not everybody has the ability to use words in such a manner as to express vivid images. I lived everything the narrator did, and I enjoyed everything he enjoyed."
- Andreea Padurean, Structural Editor
