When the ferry fails to arrive one morning, Simon suddenly finds himself stranded on his remote island home. At first, self-sufficiency sustains him, but as the internet falters and radio transmissions fall silent, it becomes clear that a greater calamity has engulfed the world.

If everything beyond the horizon is in free fall, is the island not the safest place to be?

The Island of the House of Light is a literary journey into fate, connection, and what it truly means to be human.
