The Ballads of Niam bridges the lives of people who have traversed great distances and times to be where they are. Niam has been burdened with a demanding task and a taxing quest. He has been tasked by his wife, Prisha, to find a name for their five-year-old daughter. He is also on a quest to get the hyena, Ajani, across Paris. These two great efforts involve negotiating a trench and a hill. They also span continents and countries and times. Fortunately for Niam, his palm has triple triplet lines and one single strong, prominent fate line. He also has unsolicited help navigating his path through non-existence. Fortunately, too, this day is long, and, in every version of his life, his company is strong. Maybe the burdens he carries are no match for him.
