A monstrous fog consumes and remakes all things infected with the black fog. A community of Seers push back against the curse. These seers are all women who have been orphaned. They live and train together in an ancient temple past the bone labyrinth. They perform elaborate and beautiful rituals to appease the ghosts of the world, and hold back the tide of the curse.</p><p><br></p><p>Their leader, Naomi, is missing.</p><p><br></p><p>Mazi, her adopted daughter, and her friend, Talia, embark on a dangerous quest to the center of an infected city, seeking out their lost mother. Without knowing it, they enact a deadly drama as old as time, where ghost hearts, curses, wicked prophets, and seers, all wrestle with the fabric of reality, itself.</p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"</em></strong><em>Jessup's prose sometimes recalls Harlan Ellison at his most extravagant, invoking a lurid, elastic environment steeped in ritual yet with delirious magic as well as weird science.... </em></strong><em>A striking tale of violence and redemption with an abundance of mysterious dream/nightmare imagery." - Kirkus Reviews</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Paul Jessup is a writer but also a magician. His use of prose in The</p><p>Silence that Binds is incantatory: he builds a world full of weird and</p><p>beautiful things like bone labyrinths and ghost hearts with such</p><p>dexterity that at the same time creeps and mesmerizes us. The images</p><p>are terrifying but you can't look away; you must bear witness to the</p><p>horrors until the end. That's how strong his writing is."</p><p>- Fabio Fernandes, writer and translator</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
