The Margins of Light – Episode 3: The Gate of Echoes. The Margins of Light, #3

On Verdantia, a city that "studies its own heart, " Alec Fadel steps through the Gate of Echoes, where every footfall returns as a question. Voices in his own timbre ask what scholarship has tried to grade into silence. A child demands a coin-exchange for who he used to be; a Listener teaches that kindness is the volume knob of the soul; somewhere beyond the arches, Mira's laughter braids with the wind: You're closer than you think.
Between remembering and forgetting, Alec must lower the volume of his name to be heard by the island that is reading him. A literary fantasy of myth, memory, and faith meeting the unknown,  by Mohamed Alsaedi, author of The River Child and The Man Who Spoke to the Shadows.
