Knots and folds are the tools of magic in a world where a deadly game of Topomancy has rearranged the map of Europe. When a thief who calls himself Escher steals an amulet in the mages’ game, he becomes a game piece himself. The mage who recovers the piece stands to win the game. But for Escher, the amulet might be his only way home. This genre-defying novel combines fantasy, mystery, and adventure into a mind-bending tale of magic, redemption, and discovery.
