The Lexicon of Dissolution

About this book

In the city of Oura-Vora, reality is maintained by the precise naming and perception of its inhabitants. Elias, a Philologist-Mason tasked with reinforcing the city's stone foundations through etymological recitations, is undergoing a profound personal crisis. After thirty-five years, his love for his wife, Mara, has faded. Because their lives are so deeply intertwined, his loss of definition for her begins to physically dissolve their shared home into a substance known as The Vague. As the dissolution spreads from their domestic sphere to the broader architecture of the city, Elias must confront the existential reality of his fading affection, forcing him to choose between reconstructing a hollow truth to save their world, or embracing the chaotic unknown of the fraying reality.
