Two lifetimes from now the world hangs in the balance. Dove, a young, enigmatic, gender-shifting warrior, discovers the gifts and burdens of their Inkwo (medicine) to defend against an army of hungry, ferocious monsters.
Dove’s courage, resilience, and alliance with the Earth culminate in a battle against these flesh-consuming creatures, who become stronger with each body and soul they devour. INKWO - FOR WHEN THE STARVING RETURN is a call to action to fight and protect against the forces of greed around us.
