Wolfbane

In a world where the Earth and its Moon have been whisked away by an unknown force, society has reorganized around rigid rituals and a hauntingly altered sky. Roget Germyn, a modest banker from Wheeling, rises each day to perform the precise, almost ceremonial preparations for the rare “Re‑creation of the Sun,” a dim, maroon glow that hints at a dying star. As he slips on his centuries‑old bracelet and the carefully weakened parka, his quiet life is steeped in the strange customs that now define survival.

While meditating on the elusive concept of “Connectivity,” Germyn becomes aware of a subtle, shifting presence—a translucent blob of air known locally as the Eye. This uncanny phenomenon flickers on the edge of perception, stirring questions about the forces that have reshaped their world. As the mystery deepens, Germyn’s routine encounters hint at a larger puzzle: who took the planets, and what price might they demand for their return?
