As the world faces its end, each soul experiences it uniquely, with the transition unfolding gradually like shivers across a horse's skin. In this narrative, everyday concerns—children, love, work, and friendship—begin to intertwine with the extraordinary, revealing the forces that truly govern lives. Pierce Moffett, an aspiring historian, relocates from New York to the Faraway Hills, where he uncovers a path to magic that connects past and present. Rosie Rasmussen, a single mother, navigates her mysterious uncle's legacy while dealing with her daughter Samantha's strange seizures. Meanwhile, Pierce's lover, Rose Ryder, finds herself drawn into a cult that promises to confront her inner demons. As a great cycle of time concludes, echoes of Renaissance figures like John Dee and Giordano Bruno resurface, their stories intertwining with the lives in the Faraway Hills and hinting at future possibilities. Set during the dark season between Halloween and the winter solstice, the boundary between the living and the dead blurs. Pierce, Rosie, Samantha, Rose, and their hidden allies and adversaries must choose sides in an ancient conflict that approaches its climactic confrontation.
