Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In a world where death has become negotiable, survival has become property. The Keeping was built to preserve humanity-its bloodlines, languages, customs, memories, and children. Behind its gates, however, preservation has become captivity, observation has become entertainment, and human continuity has become an industry. When a child named Calder begins to understand the rules of the enclosure holding him, an engineer discovers infrastructure designed for lives no institution admits exist, and the preserved body of one of the legendary Original Twelve resurfaces, the foundations of the Selahn order begin to fracture. From secret archives and Spelman corridors to barbershops where political power changes hands beneath the blade, descendants, dissidents, priests, engineers, and survivors are forced to confront the question at the heart of the entire Selahn experiment: Who has the right to decide what-and whom-is worth keeping Darkly satirical, philosophical, and relentlessly paced, The Keeping is the final novel in Ezra Cormell Guidor's Selahn trilogy, following In a Hundred Years and Dying. It is a story about custody disguised as care, history disguised as evidence, and the dangerous difference between preserving a people and allowing them to belong to themselves.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In a Hundred Years unfolds in a distant Black future where sacred music orders public life, ancient universities guard the knowledge of the body, and citizenship is measured not only by birth or blood-but by how long a person is expected to remain. Jonah, a young scholar of forbidden art, has been raised among ceremonies of endurance, polished institutions, and rules whose origins no one thinks to question. But after an encounter with an image his world has forgotten how to name, he is drawn across divided regions and sealed archives, into the orbit of a fearless young woman whose brief life makes her both dangerous and irresistible. What begins as a private mystery opens onto questions of lineage, representation, desire, and the stories a civilization tells to keep its future intact. Rich with Black mysticism, political satire, romance, sacred music, and ancestral memory, In a Hundred Years asks its most urgent question: What is Black Power? This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The first Selahns were promised centuries. No one promised them an ending. Nearly five hundred years after the events of In a Hundred Years, Jonah has become a legend, a liability, and the keeper of a secret town built for the descendants of the woman he loved. Lark is long dead, but her memory remains his sharpest conscience-and the one voice he cannot silence.Across the Selahn world, elders vanish from public life. Commanders retire without farewell. Ceremonies are canceled. The oldest universities have gone underground, pursued by Association enforcers while searching for an answer no government can admit it needs. At the center of the tightening crisis stands the Association's formidable National Secretary-the HNIC-whose harmless title conceals authority over intelligence, diplomacy, disappearance, and the official memory of nations. Her investigation leads toward Jonah, his hidden family, and the concealed bodies of the Original Twelve. The Whole Count movement is rising. Old churches are reopening under Jesuit protection. Finite communities are no longer willing to accept fractional citizenship. And among the Selahns, a forbidden possibility is spreading from whispered corridors to public streets: They may not be enduring. They may be dying. To protect the children Lark left behind, Jonah must decide which history to betray-the one that made him powerful, or the one that made him human. Dying is a sweeping Black speculative thriller of love, lineage, political spectacle, sacred memory, and the terrifying cost of surviving too long. A sequel to In a Hundred Years, it asks what happens when a civilization built on endless time discovers that death has been waiting inside it all along. This item is printed on demand.
