It is the time of Placement in the underworld of Gog, and Grugreera and all the second ring Primes wait to find out how they will spend the rest of their lives. Grugreera receives the role he's wanted his entire life: digger. But his faith in MaGog and the system is tested when he learns the lie that their society was built upon, and which is bound to determine their future.

Dawlis died, and yet he lives. A plan is forming in his mind of its own volition. It is unfolding in real time. He must go, he knows, to the source of his Shadow. MaGog, they are human too. They are scared too.

The Butterfly and the Squid, the second installment of the Sine series, is a novel about choice, equality, oppression, and the nature of consciousness. It explores frontiers of space and frontiers of our inner worlds. Who are we, and why are these worlds connected?
