Magic. Fate. Gods. Edward, the miller's son, has always dreamed of a quiet life with his ox, Clyde, and a humble cart. But fate has other plans for him. After a routine delivery to the Duke's castle, Edward is drawn into a world of dangerous court politics and divine intervention. Marked by the gods and gifted with knowledge no peasant should possess, Edward must navigate the treacherous waters of a world where fate, magic, and power collide. Can he rise above his station, or will the gods and men alike drag him into a destiny he's not prepared for? When the gods speak, even the miller's son must answer.
