Komorebi is a high-stakes sci-fi fantasy that breathes life into the struggle between cold technology and the raw, untamed heartbeat of humanity.
When Trist plummets through the breached dome into the forgotten forests of the Old World, she doesn’t just discover nature: she crashes directly into Levi Tadashi. Levi is a fierce, earth-born survivalist who risks his life on scouting squads, searching for the brother the New World stole from him.
Together, they must navigate a breathtaking but brutal wilderness. They are hunted by the high-tech drones of a surveillance state and ambushed by feral outcasts who have lost their minds to the wreckage of past wars.
Yet, amidst the violence and the shadows, they discover something the New World tried to engineer out of existence: faith, hope, and an unforgettable, deeply human connection.
“The sunlight bends around the edges of the leaves, slipping through the small gaps, allowing the light to pass onto the ground. It’s a phenomenon known as diffraction… There actually isn’t any word to describe this in our language. Komorebi.”
