again, the watercarriers: Ceremonies from in the name of the m/other tree

What is the cost of utopia?

After delivering an earth-rattling prophecy, an infamous root woman and her loyal devotees vanish into a river, sparking rumors of a triple suicide. In truth, theonewhohasnoname, quiethandssometimesclapping and lilbigsis abscond to a half-imagined, half-remembered hush arbor. There, supernatural forces initiate them into the daughters of ellum, a secret society of earth-workers dedicated to preserving the ways of the ancient ones. All is bliss until the trio’s decision to abandon the faithless begins to haunt them. Will demands of home force them to return and risk becoming salt or will they choose eternal life and relish in a new realm of their own conjuring?
