The Adept (Cinnamon Press)  

In a cold, hard city, Chresta and Eran are searching…

Interrogating their story, The Adept examines the frequent disconnect between urbanites living side by side and the dangerous power relations in unorthodox belief systems — colloquially, cults and the cult-like.

Our protagonists wrestle with their need for engagement in a world of increasing isolation via home offices and online fora. With the metaverse just around the corner, Chresta and Eran encounter callous users preying on the disenfranchised alongside, potentially, offerings of something profound — a sense of belonging in an increasingly fragmented world.

"Experimenting with character and form, The Adept uses vignette and imagery of the day-to-day to beautifully capture paradoxes at the heart of modern life and the often tragic confusion wrought by those who preach certainty. A distinctive and compelling debut." Cinnamon Press
