Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets, incest and ignorance.

He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both.
