Starry-eyed Adae wants to see dark matter, ultraviolet light, and where consciousness goes after death. When she finds herself in a city made of glass, full of shapeshifters with dimensions for which she has no names, Adae begins to suspect that grief and joy share the same architecture.
In the Glass City, a woman commits a crime whose verdict breaks dimensions open-allowing consciousness to access the dimension of possibility and shapeshift. Into this world Adae arrives: where the weight of real and true, what the Glass City calls existential density, can be heavy enough to tear the sky, and where those who sense higher numbers of dimensions experience them as resonance, longing, or awe.
As Adae explores a multiverse, consciousness reaches for feedback. A lover of rainstorms and turbulence negotiates herself into existence. A relentless traveler searches for the soul of her dead fiancé. A queen must find the floor of an argument that supports a morally questionable decision. A forgotten oracle sings to Saturn.
Serenade to Saturn is a novel about yearning as the chosen instrument of consciousness, about bleeding to recognize sovereignty as a law of physics rather than a concept to contest, and about a universe that broke itself open to acknowledge the truth of an argument it realized Sound.
For readers of N. K. Jemisin's exploratory craft, Ursula K. Le Guin's anthropological imagination, V. E. Schwab's architecturally precise settings, Toni Morrison's grief as cosmology, Octavia Butler's description of body as philosophical terrain, and Susanna Clarke's structural strangeness.
