In a hollow world where humans live on the inner walls of a vast sphere-roughly the size of our planet-known as the Terrier, the sky blends with the continents above.
The sun is born from a colossal molten crater, crossing the sphere from pole to pole before vanishing into its twin abyss-leaving behind deserts of lava and sand.
It was into this inverted world that Aïko fell, born from a single drop of blue lava cast out from one of those craters.
Two centuries later, he still wanders, almost unchanged-aging at an unnatural pace, both human and alien to this world.
But one night, a second blue star cuts across the sky of the Terrier-
a light identical to the one that saw his birth.
When Tifkā, a stubborn young scientist driven by her fascination with mysteries, chases after it, their destinies collide-
leading them to uncover the true nature of their universe.
