Publisher's Synopsis
For fans of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab, The Preface of a Worthy Fable is an solar punk inspired fantasy novel detailing the struggles of what it means to be an artist and what it means to create.
For twelve years, Arna has done everything the Gods asked of him in hopes of saving the world after he nearly destroyed it. Despite his efforts, time is up and if he cannot complete the sacred dances by the summer solstice, the world will end. Determined to succeed even at the cost of his own life, Arna is willing to give anything, that is until the Gods tell him to return home.
Forced to face everyone he left behind, all Arna has ever known begins to splinter. Pressured on all sides, Arna struggles to reconnect with those he abandoned while being the savior the world needs. Who will he dance for? Mortals or the Gods? Life or death? A single choice stands between the end and the beginning.
