Waymaker

by Louis Piechota

Overview

Kateb’s splinterworld is less than two hundred miles across, and much of it is ocean. Deadly winds and ravenous fiends plague what’s left. Humans eke out a living on the coast. Twelve-year-old Kateb longs to escape to another world, but in his repressive society even daydreaming about doing so is forbidden.

One day a young woman named Ryn stumbles into his world and changes his life forever. She reveals that demons secretly control all the splinterworlds. They keep the humans in each one isolated with false beliefs. Ryn has stolen a compass that senses the hidden gates between the worlds. She intends to give it to the human Resistance in Na’mor, the great city between the splinterworlds, but now she is injured and on the run.

Helping Ryn get back to Na’mor means risking his life and leaving everything he knows behind. A merciless demon pursues her, and the gate she needs lies deep within the cursed desert to the east. But turning her in means staying in his tiny prison-world forever.

Kateb chooses to help.

About the Author

Louis Piechota grew up in Colorado but now lives in upstate New York. Currently he pays the bills as a mechanical engineer, but his dream has always been to become a full-time author and storyteller. When he is not writing he's usually either reading, cooking something, or hiking in the Adirondacks. Some of his favorite authors are J.R.R Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Neil Gaiman.

He published his first novel, “A Rose in the Desert", in 2014. His latest novel is "Waymaker". A sequel to Waymaker is in the works, along with an unrelated trilogy tentatively entitled "The Father of the Night".
