Seeing the light: hope springs eternal in an instant classic.
OVER HALF A CENTURY ago, the world was torn apart by the Fracture, the only known survivors eking out an existence on the small island of Lumière. Each year since, in the furthest reaches of the old continent, a mysterious being called the Paintress awakens to etch a number into a monolith, turning everyone of that age to dust — and she’s counting down. With only a year until his number’s up, inventor Gustave leads an expedition to those distant shores in the hope of stopping the godlike figure — even though none before have returned.
