Constellation of the Other World

The blood rain has fallen for a hundred years, and the world Saha called home has finally ended. So he does what any ancient, unhurried being would do: he moves house.

His new nest is a mountain on a quiet continent, his servants are enthusiastic but hopeless at anything that grows, and every tree they plant dies. What he needs is a gardener. What he finds is a part-time Hunter Association clerk with the weakest ability in the book, and a mercenary boy sent up the mountain to die.

A dry, slow-burn fantasy about gods who watch mortals like ants, and the small, odd kindnesses that slip through anyway.
