The Loom of Slumbering Gods

About this book

In the floating city of Omatia, magic is not cast but cultivated; memories manifest as bioluminescent flora, and the river tides rise and fall with the collective grief and joy of the populace. For generations, the city has thrived in quiet wonder, deeply connected to a slumbering deity beneath the waters. The story unfolds through two interwoven, non-linear timelines. In the past, Olinor, a meticulous archivist, documents the gradual spiritual decay of his culture as the city's memory-flowers mysteriously begin to wither. In the present, Tasi, a gifted weaver, sets out with a diverse group of tradespeople and spiritual guides to navigate the flooded lower districts and restore the city's connection to its divine roots. As Tasi uncovers the truth of Omatia's foundation and Olinor records its hidden history, their perspectives converge across time. Together with their companions, they discover that the preservation of wonder requires both remembering the past and accepting the impermanence of the present, ultimately weaving a new spiritual pact to save their home.
