In modern-day Spain, a young anthropologist sifts through the remains of an ancient life. Coaxing sense out of bone and ash.

And in a distant world we can only imagine, a young boy becomes a man at the price of the unthinkable.

Two stories, one planet—separated by the span of thirty millennia.

This strange mystery first appeared in Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, and was a finalist for the 2017 Derringer Award for Short Mystery Fiction.
