Humankind has been reduced to the height of a handspan. Many do not survive the sudden transformation. This story is about those who do.
Frightened and awed in his new body, Giles embarks on a quest across a wildly altered landscape in search of his loved ones, hoping that for all its perils this new world can offer him redemption: a chance to prove himself to his children.
But even as humans cling to hope, deep in the ocean the spectre of an ancient godlike force stirs.
