Dans la Maison, vous mènerez des combats, vous perdrez des guerres.

È una ragazzina, Mangiaterra, quando scopre il suo potere misterioso: le basta inghiottire un pugno di terra perché la verità sulle persone disperse e su quelle che, ormai, popolano l'aldilà le si dipinga nella mente e le sconvolga l'anima. Il suo corpo si contrae, nel disgusto e nella repulsione per se stessa, ma il suo sguardo penetra la notte che circonda gli scomparsi, legge i segni nascosti nelle visioni, vibra delle storie terribili che la terra nasconde.
