## Synopsis

Maquia belongs to a secluded people who stop aging in their teens and live for centuries, weaving the passing days into cloth. When war shatters her home and leaves her adrift, she finds a human infant orphaned in the wreckage and chooses, against all wisdom, to raise him as her own. What follows is a lifetime — his, not hers — as she watches the child she loves grow, age, and outrun her, learning the unbearable arithmetic of loving a mortal when you cannot grow old alongside them.
