In an alternate history where the Black Death killed 99% of Europe’s population, world history is shaped by Chinese, Islamic, and Indian civilizations. Through reincarnating characters who meet between lives in the bardo, the novel spans seven centuries of wars, discoveries, and revolutions in a world without Western dominance.
