In the Kenoma solar system on planet Zoe-7 lies the city of Neo-Babylon, and within it, the bio-mechanical underworld of Kur.
Aktaly, a newly initiated Cyber Bard, finds herself pulled into this world of deathless suffering, torture, and violence, where Archons and musical Composers keep multi-species refugees enthralled to them. But with the knowledge of the VaporFlame, Aktaly learns that cycles of trauma can be healed through the Music of the Spheres.
As Aktaly strives to heal her brain eating parasitic infection and the traumatized world around her, she develops empathy for others and helps the apathetic. With time spent with each of the different social classes in different regions of the city - from Punks and Soldiers to Archons - Aktaly discovers the power of resonance healing through music.
Inspired by Gnostic, Greek, Babylonian, and Egyptian mythology, Aktaly's journey to heal the city of Kur updates the stories of Inanna, Eurydice, and Sophia for a modern audience. With a non-violent, female lead and a system based on music, biochemistry, and mycelium, this weird fiction saga offers a unique and hopeful take on the power of empathy and healing.
