In a near utopia, the gods are about to come together for The Harvest Festival, which takes place only every twenty years. At that time, they demand a seemingly small price from the beings who enjoy the peace and prosperity of the world below. We follow Pigeon, one of those souls as he goes off to pay that price, not entirely certain what the gods will demand of him and the others who are with him. Within the castle of the gods is Soluna, young the daughter of the powerful sun and moon deities, who is eager to defy her father and eavesdrop on the business of the divine at her first Harvest Festival. However, she finds herself helplessly entwined in a much bigger power struggle between several gods and the souls from below. |
