Years of desperate flight across the island, from the lawless edges of Smuggler’s Sanctuary to the isolated shack where his brother Shamura sheltered him, ended in capture. Imprisoned and broken, Narinder was hauled before the four ruling gods: Sozo, Foreneus, Midas, and Ratao. They forced the frail cat to his knees and presented the blade. Narinder wept, terror drowning his senses, tears blurring the steel edge. He shut his eyes, surrendering to his fate. The cut was swift. His head fell—but instead of striking stone, it landed on something impossibly soft. When his eyes opened, the chains were gone. He found himself resting on a vast, cloud-like plain, silent and bewildering.
