Description

In the aftermath of a world in flux, a mysterious text holds the key to rebirth. Hildegard's Scivias is an indescribably beautiful codex of writing and illuminations thought to be lost forever.

Centuries later, Pinky Agarwalia discovers fragments of this visionary text on Avaaz, containing hitherto unknown pathways to a lost vision of human co-existence with plants and non-humans. As she deciphers the diagrams, she begins to understand the secrets of Hildegard's vital linguistic potion, viriditas.

Through her journey, Agarwalia uncovers a new language - Lingua Ignota - that communicates not through sound but by feeling and light. This mysterious invented language arrives just in time for a world whose coordinates are being recast.
