A dead Elder. A mask that poisons the water. Winner: Literary Titan Gold Book Award · International Impact Book Awards Distinguished Author The first time eighteen-year-old blacksmith's apprentice Zaphiel carries a message beyond his village, he finds the Elder he was sent to dead, the town's well water turned foul, and the wellstone that stood beside it gone. He goes after the thieves, not knowing he’s hunting a warlord whose ancient mask is the source of the blight. His companions are an unlikely lot, including a dog who knows far more than she should. But beneath Zaphiel’s quest runs a second story: a woman's secret journal written across fifteen thousand years of failed endings. She has seen how stories like his end. Unless this time she can change it. Epic fantasy for readers who want ancient mystery, a found family worth fighting for, and a hero learning what his choices cost. 0300Fifteen thousand years of failed endings. One woman’s journal knows them all. "If you have this book and can read it, you are almost certainly Evelyn. Ask the question anyway: Am I Evelyn? Get into the habit of verifying what you are told. It matters. [2.1]" The characters have never seen it. You will. Eighteen-year-old Zaphiel is sent to deliver a sealed scroll to Wellvale's Water Master. He finds the man murdered, the town's ancient well stone stolen, and a red-black fog killing crops and anyone caught inside it. He can go home and admit he failed. Or go after the thieves. He goes. The fog nearly kills him, but a dog leads him out alive and takes up the thieves' trail. No ordinary dog. Zaphiel follows. Strays join them on the road: • a guarded young woman who reads ancient runes and shares less than she knows • a “master swordsman” whose hat betrays his every bluff • a mute girl whose trances reach beyond the mortal world • a Liminal, whose power obeys strange and costly rules Chance throws them together. They choose to stay. Because the stone is Tidestep, one of five Anchor Stones that hold the world of Arthios in balance. The ones who took it believe mortals ruin every world they're given. Fifteen thousand years of failed endings say they might be right. And the woman who recorded them has spent ages planning for the ending she wants this time. Tidestep is book 1 of The Saga of Arthios, an epic fantasy for readers who love found families, animal companions with secrets, dual narratives, and stories that reward close attention. The first quest is complete in one volume, but the saga is just beginning. One stolen Anchor Stone. One hidden journal. One choice that decides an Age. 01000302https://namgimiwexgkvvvjrnca.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/hero-images/book-cover-1788292562788.jpg Cauldron Books LC 01F.A.
