Stories of buried treasure or ghosts have all but vanished, traded for complaints about taxes and the local Zemstvo, which Osip blames for the village’s steady decline. The villagers speak plainly now, with little left to dream about. Men, hardened by labor and disappointment, regard religion as something…

Chapter 2
Chapter 2 begins with a jolt—one that leaves me startled on the wet pavement, Bear’s leash tugging insistently in my hand as the sharp scent of rain and engine oil fills the air. The sleek car, now creased and steaming near the curb, looms in my peripheral vision. Chapter 2 forces me to meet the eyes of the man who caused it all—Alex, as he later introduces himself—removing his sunglasses to reveal a concerned expression that seems surprisingly sincere, especially given the circumstances. He kneels…-

1. Ma
Ma's departure in the summer of 1952 was a turning point for six-year-old Kya Clark, a moment etched into the quiet, stifling heat of the North Carolina marshlands. The air, thick with humidity, seemed to press down upon the land, as if nature itself shared in the weight of Kya's loss.

Malcolm shakes his head in amusement, his smile mirroring the warmth of the moment, and together they drive onward, the lush greenery of summer stretching endlessly on either side of them.
