Dawn breaks across the archipelago of Popisho. The world is stirring awake again, each resident with their own list of things to do:
A wedding feast to conjure and cook
An infidelity to investigate
A lost soul to set free
As the sun rises two star-crossed lovers try to find their way back to one another across this single day. When night falls, all have been given a gift, and many are no longer the same.
The sky is pink, and some wonder if it will ever be blue again.
What readers are saying

'This book is bursting at the seams with beauty! Magic! Love! Imagination! It is a burst of colour and flame.'
'It's hard to explain, but if you love getting lost in a story, this could be one for you.'
