Misaru

Survivor of Atlas

Misaru is a former Queen of Atlas whose son’s soul was destroyed so King Zedek could inhabit his body and stay young. Condemned for refusing to raise the king in her child’s body, she survives and joins other bereaved parents who rejected the same bargain. Their grief becomes a plea for Atlas’s destruction, and Misaru carries its terrible consequences with her. Afterward, she admits she never thought to ask whether the children could be brought back. Vengeance has given her neither her son nor a home, and she must decide how to live with what she asked for.
