The Mark of God

Both Fate and Stoneshaker have touched Alarion's life, but he is not grateful for their intervention. Refusing both of the conflicting futures they have planned for him, he rides in search of a way out. In the desert where he already came close to dying once, the One God of the tribes has kept them loyal through every hardship. He wants to know the source of its power. While he wanders among heathens, hiding his identity as one of their most hated enemies, Fate's fellow gods scheme to thwart her design for an orderly future. But none of them has reckoned with Fate's unruly husband, the Thousandth God. He loves his wife; indeed he does. But chaos calls to him, and surely just one toss of the dice won't hurt?
