A peaceful island where faith turns into miracles is invaded by an empire that believes it can capture and harness that potential.

For generations, the people of Tia have lived in the shadow of a dark star, looking up instead of within.

On the tiny island of Weatherny, an entire community prays to save a dying fisherman. Their faith, their potential, produces the miracle they desired.

From across the sea, an empire has begun a crusade to claim such potential at any cost.

An invasion scatters the people of Weatherny across a world of warring empires, ancient beings, and powers mistaken for miracles. An invader begins to question the empire she serves. A directionless young man is carried farther from home than he ever imagined.

Hanging above is the threat, a reminder for all to see. The dark star reaches down toward its master, long imprisoned on the surface of the planet. It wants only one thing: freedom, whatever the cost to the people of Tia. To face what’s coming, they will have to discover that the power they’ve sought has been within them all along.

The people of Tia believe they understand their gods.

Their gods have a history of their own.

Recutlikine is a sweeping epic fantasy about the power people give one another, the stories civilizations mistake for truth, and what happens when a world finally begins to see itself clearly.
