What’s this all about?

After their parents died, it’s like Morgan and Evie forgot how to be family. While Evie vanished for days on end, Morgan focused on leading a quiet, predictable life. Years later, Grace, Evie’s coworker and friend, drags Morgan back into her life. Evie’s disappeared again, and this time, she hasn't come back.

Their search for Evie leads Morgan and Grace to Evie's other life. There’s a hidden world of magic living in secret communities in Brooklyn, kept alive by mutual aid and community solidarity. Why did Evie disappear? Where did she go? Can her friends find her before it’s too late?

Artisan explores grief, spirituality, and what it takes to build community. It combines centuries-old Jewish folklore with the present-day queer community in Brooklyn.
