Stori'r darlithydd yn y Gymraeg, Dr Heledd Owen, sydd yn Y Tŵr wrth iddi symud i safle newydd y brifysgol y mae hi'n gweithio iddi. Mae cyfrinachau tywyll yn y nendwr modern a rheolau newydd sy'n rhaid eu dilyn. Dyma gyfundrefn sy'n caniatau i rai ddringo wrth i eraill ddioddef - ac mae pris i'w dalu er mwyn aros yn y gem. Nofel sy'n dangos sut y gall cymdeithas syrthio dros amser a hynny heb i'r rhai sy'n aelodau ohoni sylwi na phrotestio. 


A dystopian campus novel that satirizes contemporary Wales. We follow the story of Dr Heledd Owen, a lecturer in Welsh as she moves into the University's new campus, a remote skyscraper that keeps dark secrets. The novel shows how society can fall apart over time without being noticed or questioned. It is an eerie novel, which guides the reader from the familiar to the absurd, without changing tone. This is Rebecca Thomas' debut novel for adults.
