Isolated from the rest of society, Jane undertakes the grueling task of remembering her underground world for the sake of better understanding herself. Trapped within a stone, windowless basement hiding away a congregation in the midst of a power struggle between two polar extremes, she clings to the one thing that makes her feel understood: a priest, or Superiorii, who, for some inexplicable reason, has always treated her kindly.As time passes, Jane grows haunted by her doubts and questions, fearing she may be a portal between the congregation and the demon world, or Fos Terata. She faces becoming a child bride, mothering a baby, and staring down death in all its forms -- all in the wake of her cracking psyche.For those who are sensitive to strong material, I don't advise reading this novel if you feel troubled by: Sexual Assault Abuse Child abuse/pedophilia/incest Self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and suicide Death or dying Pregnancy/Childbirth Miscarriages/Abortion Mental illness Sexism and misogyny Homophobia
