In every ending waits a new beginning. Evy has always been able to feel the sorrow hiding in others. One day, she reaches out to a stranger drowning in his grief and is whisked away to a vast, luminous Hall. The Hall demands a choice. Evy must pass through a mist-shrouded arch to her best path forward or a side door offering a detour. Either way, pain awaits-the crucible of transformation or the slow decay of refusing to change. Across the years, Evy returns to the Hall without warning, always met with the same demand. Choose.

Each time, she is plunged into strange realms uncomfortably familiar, where her hopes and fears, beliefs and doubts take shape as uncanny landscapes and characters who seem to know her better than she knows herself. Witty, numinous, and deeply human, Of Beginnings and Ends is a reckoning with the painful crossroads of existence, and an ode to the courage it takes to embrace every ending as the threshold of a new beginning.
