As Grolier navigates the chaos\, he uncovers devastating truths about his family’s past. He must race through a web of family betrayals and institutional cover-ups\, confronting how intimate violence can become a civilization-threatening threat. His decisions will determine whether the bonds holding humanity and the ancient jonahs together can survive the deadly legacy of buried trauma. Messioph: The First Book of Ido\, the second volume in Geoffreyjen Edwards’s fifteen-book Ido Chronicles\, explores how personal wounds can lead to political crises.
