A Prayer for the Crown-Shy

In this poignant second volume of the Monk and Robot series, Sibling Dex and the robot Mosscap continue their journey across the little moon of Panga. Having already explored the rural landscapes, the pair now ventures into the villages and cities to better understand the needs of humanity. As they navigate new friendships and complex concepts, they grapple with the entropic nature of the universe and the fundamental question of whether having more truly matters in a world where everyone already has what they want.
