Once a wealthy businessman, Mathen Cutter has remade himself as the defiant leader of a refugee caravan. After fleeing the escalating war between the Necromian and Elvish Kingdoms, he has guided his patchwork family toward the prospect of sanctuary in the east. But the greatest test of his leadership still lies ahead.

Pushing across the treacherous Eastern Wastes, Mathen's band faces a harrowing gauntlet of punishing elements, unforgiving terrain, and the perpetual threat of shadowy pursuers determined to bring them down. When a young pickpocket named Remy emerges with a warning of greater evil on their trail, Mathen's courage and his caravan's resilience will be pushed to their limits.

For Jas Cutter, Mathen's headstrong son, the journey has become one of awakening. After rashly sacrificing himself to protect the children, he lays bereaved in the ominous Forest of Death. As Mathen races to Jas's rescue, ancient whispers stir in the injured boy - whispers of a dark power that could unmake the world itself. The shackled god Destiny's ominous words linger: "Yours is the hand that will unmake the world."

In this gripping third book of the Fate's Foe saga, a tale of remaking and coming-of-age unfolds across the refugee trail. As new allies and old adversaries emerge from the shadows, father and son must confront whether their bond can endure against the unraveling of destiny itself. Every sacrifice, every choice, could remake their path to sanctuary...or unmake the world they know.
