Logos

After witnessing the brutal death of his parents, a young caveboy is left roaming through a barren, parched land with nothing but his newborn brother strapped to his chest.



Unwilling to accept his loss, the boy sets out on a dangerous path to reach the home of the gods-a mountain looming in the distance-in search of a way to reunite with his parents. But the grief-stricken journey to the mountain is also a violent exile into adulthood, and the mountain holds secrets the gods are unwilling to share. Not without sacrifice.



An incendiary novel about the fierce rise of civilization, Nikita's haunting debut is an extraordinary story of creativity and perseverance, the tragic consequences of unresolved grief, and the power of legacy. Logos' prose, sparse and fragmented at first, evolves alongside the two brothers as they claim authority over their environment-a ruthless, prehistoric setting, rarely depicted in either literary or genre fiction.
