Before the Yu'Nyun arrived, before the battle at Nexus, before the upheaval of Peridot's pantheon, The Glow Keeper brings the reader to a small glow station island for a low-stakes cozy tale.
In the style of a Ghibli film, follow Lara through a day in the life of one of Peridot's essential workers. She helps her mother, Maisie, maintain a glow pumpkin island, patching the canvas harness, feeding the chickens, shepherding the sheep, and serving the whims of her flying tabby, Zephyr. She doesn't have to save the world, she just has to stay on top of her chores, and figure out where Zephyr has gone off to.
