A Layered, lyrical, and heartbreaking novella

​In the near future, a grieving son uncovers the secret journal entries of his genius mother--and the life and love story she tells is layered across multiple universes. 

Written in lyrical nonlinear prose perfect for fans of NK Jemisin's The Broken Earth Trilogy or the myth-laden heartbreak of Hadestown, These Bright and Perilous Designs is a love story spanning lifetimes and a study of grief for those left behind.
