The Forgotten Gemstone
āĻāĻ āĻāĻŦā§āĻāĻāĻ¨ā§° āĻŦāĻŋāĻˇā§ā§
Ule is Xiinisi, a race of trans-dimensional world builders. Shunned by her peers and spurned by a love interest, she retreats into Elish, a planet she built during her youth while being incarcerated. When she attempts to return home, she is blocked by a mysterious force and must find another way. As she searches for help, she discovers an unusual phenomenon never before expressed in worldbuilding:
Demons walk the Root Dimension.
After an encounter with Istok, a cactus demon, Ule is bound by his magic. Transformed into a gemstone, she succumbs to a dream state. Upon awaking, she is thrust back into Elish where merchants and farmers struggle to recover from a one hundred year war, and even worseâĻ
Ule cannot remember who or what she is.
Join Ule as she searches for clues to her true nature and identity in a world that doesn't want her to remember.
"There is a true shimmer of shapeshifting in the essence of the narrative: just as Ule can change her form at will (and has it changed for her), so Daven keeps the story morphing so subtly that it is only in retrospect that you can see that there was a plan and purpose all along." âJen Frankel, author of Undead Redhead
