“Hey, Piko, if you see Toenail, take care of him, okay?”

“Why should I do that? He’s your dog.”

She shook her head. “No, Piko. He’s his own dog. But he might need someone to keep an eye on him.”

The Mud Fisher’s Catch

When the gods fell, they left a magic Candle as a blessing to all humanity. But their gift was stolen by greed. Now, only barren, dying lands remain, struggling to survive the mad rule of cruel immortal Kings.

When Fisher Tey discovers a man from the past, with lost memories and vestiges of old power, she’s faced with a dangerous opportunity. Out of hope and desperation, she binds her fate to the mysterious stranger and sets out on a journey that changes everything.

Lost love, desperate need, and dark retribution all collide as Fisher Tey searches for a glimmer of hope in the flickering light of the Candle.
