Shale is dying. A vast, chaotic, monster-bearing storm known only as the Roil is expanding, consuming the land.
Where once there were twelve great cities, now only four remain, and their borders are being threatened by the growing cloud of darkness. The last humans are fighting back with ever more bizarre new machines. But one by one the defences are failing. And the Roil continues to grow.
With the land in turmoil, it's up to a decadent wastrel, a four thousand year-old man, and a young woman intent on revenge to try to save their city... and the world.

Very dark fantasy, set on the world of Shale. A disaster movie with a difference.
Zizwe is visiting his family in Barbados with his mother for the very first time. His exciting journey and his first impressions of the beautiful land of the shak shak tree are captured in this evocative story poem.
