Tales and Stories from a New World: Philosophical Fables of Power, Destiny, Humanity

When the universe remakes itself, which stories deserve to survive?A white light sweeps across the heavens and reorders everything it touches, unmaking the old world and seeding a new one. At its edges - before the creation, after it, and in the exact instant of the change - these stories are born.Tales and Stories from a New World gathers a score of fables that read like the myths of a civilization that does not yet exist. Each is short, stands on its own, and hides a moral that is never imposed, only suggested. Together they map an entire world.Here, a small creature damned by its own greed. There, a novice who discovers the price of faith. Beyond, wrath, justice, courage and peace put to the test in creatures and kingdoms you will find in no other book. Stories about power, destiny, and what it means to be human - or to stop being one.For readers of fantasy who want more than swords and dragons: a mythology of its own, an invented tongue, and questions that stay with you long after you close the book.The threshold of a universe that has not yet finished telling itself.
