(This is one of the novellas in The Eleventh Hour. It’s one of my personal favourites so it gets its own spotlight.)

In this reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s The Happy Prince, a lone courier travels between a domed city besieged by extraterrestrial forces and a mysterious tower on its outskirts, offering life support for the desperate metropolis. As environmental collapse threatens to transform the city into a wasteland, the courier finds his route intertwined with the lives of those who remain and the enigmatic tower dweller who holds the truth and the last hope.

Swallow weaves a tale of survival and sacrifice, with a closer look at what we fear, what we desire, what we are willing to give, and what we are afraid to receive.
