Ever since, the people of the Wheel have prayed for the Makers to return.
Now their prayers are
answered. But not in the way they expect…

Karzai gives up his homeland reputation to search for the truth.
Soon he finds himself caught in a web of magic and forced to
trade stories with a god - trapped on an island where nothing
is at it seems, not even Karzai's past.
