If only his imagination wouldn"t disappear when he tries to write. Luckily, Humphrey likes a challenge, and Mrs. Brisbane has lots of writing tips that do the trick.

In un remoto futuro, in cui il Sole – diventato così grande da riempire il Cielo – è adorato come un Dio e la Terra è ridotta a uno sterile deserto, l'umanità è costretta a vivere in una grande megalopoli dove il divario tra le classi sociali è altissimo. In un collegio per orfani, nella parte più povera della città, è nascosta Twil, la ragazza dagli occhi rossi, che è tormentata da inspiegabili incubi, che non ricorda niente del suo passato e che non sa di essere la prescelta per un antico rito da cui dipendono le sorti dell'intero pianeta.
