  Summary

  Tammunei Ereshkigal contains multitudes. Raised by three mothers and caring for a sickly fourth, Tammu has lived every day of their life in the shadow of what they will become: a wise-woman of the Ahemmusa; a listener and mouthpiece for the ghosts of their ancestors. Setting out now on a year-long self-imposed exile from home - a coming of age rite known to Ashlanders as the Harrowing - Tammunei remembers their life up to this point, and in turn, their ancestors share their memories through Tammunei.
