THE
BOOK
OF
S
OF
I
Another world, post-apocalypse. Survival, resistance, a prophecy. Feverish nightmares turning into utopian dreams. Bodies aligned in pleasure, summoning the ghosts of the past, asking: what could we have become?
A fragmented story about a group of witches, warriors, sluts, and healers, about the desire to belong, about the power of mutual care, and the yearning for tenderness.

"To those /
Who dream of warm hands and arms /
Wrapped around them /
To those who hallucinate Of kisses /
Hot and wet and soft /
To those who long for touch /
For sweet whispers /
To those who shiver under your breath /
And to those /
That have lost their breath along the way"
