In January 2314, Rowena Savalas - a curator of the vast archive of the twenty-first century's primitive internet - stumbles upon a story posted in the summer of 2024. She's quickly drawn into the mystery of the text: Is it autobiography, fantasy or fraud? What's the significance of the recurring number 381? In the story, the protagonist Fairly walks the Horned Road - a quest undertaken by youngsters in her village when they come of age. She is followed by the "breathing man," a looming presence, dogging her heels every step of the way. Everything she was taught about her world is overturned. Following Fairl's quest, Rowena comes to question her own choices, and a predictable life of curation becomes one of exploration, adventure and love. As both women's stories draw to a close, she realises it doesn't matter whether the story is true or not: as with the quest itself, it's the journey that matters."-- $c simonandschuster.com. 650 0 $a Quests (Expeditions) $x Fiction. 650 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft. 650 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 1 952 $l YKPE532 $d 20240216010231.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12361E3ECC9911EE8D42A99345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
