A volcano erupts and famine takes hold. A young girl steals an axe and makes her way in the world. Pollen is released, microorganisms multiply, two children must fend for themselves in the forest. Observing it all is a storyteller who straddles past and present.

ONCE is a retelling of a tale you already know. In this telling, humans are only one thread within a vivid tapestry of lifeforms responding to calamity.

An exciting fiction debut from author Annie Raser-Rowland, ONCE is a genre-bending work of eco-fiction that paints a compelling portrait of the tender, terrible interconnectedness of our world.
