Read more about this book
Your child is fishing in a parched riverbed, hoping to catch something in the last trickles of water. The dry earth crumbles underfoot, the air thick with the dust of a long drought. As they prod a particularly gnarled root, they unearth an ancient, water-smoothed idol, its eyes seeming to gaze into another time.
Touching the idol transports them not to a fantasy land, but to a bustling medieval riverside trading hub, a stark contrast to their own desiccated world. Here, the river flows wide and vibrant. They observe a pivotal moment, a seemingly minor injustice that, in this past, irrevocably diverted the river's course. Now, faced with this knowledge, your child must weigh the profound implications of altering history against the hope of restoring their own present.
