— Goodreads reviewer
The Mother is a titanic organism, humanity’s home and ravenous god.
No stone. No metal. No mercy.
At the Last Fort, Bulelani is no ordinary crew leader. He can read, he knows how to move, he is respected. And he has a debt to collect in blood.
Qaqamba is a fool. He talks too much, he is clumsy, and he doesn’t understand what is happening around him. But he would do anything to avoid work, even help a man get his revenge.
Five days. Two gatherers with nothing to lose. A plan that looks perfect until it starts falling apart.
"The Mother feeds the child. The child feeds the Mother."
