Air burrowed insidiously into lungs that had collapsed subjective centuries ago, only to rush back out through tightened vocal chords in a scream of agony. Blood sluggishly drooled through heart chambers made fragile by time’s merciless abrasion. Involuntarily, muscle groups twitched about as the soul returned to the body, flailing appendages hither and thither, testing their renewed animation. To complete the Waking, into his brain rushed memories of having no memories. Existence is not supposed to be optional in this flat polytheistic world—it is the dictate of Etre, one of the world’s three founding gods. But Sanct, a man lacking memories, skills, and purpose, possesses (or is possessed by) an object that seemingly ignores the gods’ rules with impunity. To make matters even more confusing, Sanct is purportedly one of the gods’ servants. But when the deities are forced to play by their own convoluted rules, even they can make mistakes.

 Existence is not supposed to be optional in this flat, polytheistic world - it is the dictate of Etre, one of the world's three founding gods. But Sanct, a man lacking memories, skills, and purpose, possesses, (or is possessed by), an object that seemingly ignores the gods' rules with impunity and to make matters even more confusing, Sanct is purportedly one of the gods' servants. 
 As the world is soon to discover, when the deities are forced to play by their own convoluted rules, even they can make mistakes. 
 Ending an Ending is a must-read for any lover of fantasy.

Now that Sanct has left, though, new questions arise: What are Alaris' designs for the world? And what is he willing to do to achieve them? "A fantastic tale for fantasy/scifi lovers." --Lucille P.

And yet, in the most secret areas of the hearts of those who know what he is trying to do, there lies the question: Can he do it?

Alaris has enacted his continent-spanning plans, and he races against time to get to the ancient tower of mages, Pinnacle, to enact yet more.
