Fetter was raised to be a weapon — trained by his mother to assassinate his father, a cult leader. Instead he moves to the city, joins a support group for former chosen ones, and tries to live a normal life. But the bright doors — mysterious portals that no one can open — keep calling. A Sri Lankan fantasy that defies every convention.
