Where the Rivers Run Backwards

After years of working in the sewers, Percy is ready to chase his lifelong ambition: uncovering the secrets of the mysterious continent known as Sarrassas. Everyone, even his best friends, seem to have doubts. There are dark omens at every turn. And he is pestered by strange creatures in his dreams, who may be guardians or persecutors. Yet, he presses forward with purpose. But at some point, he'll have to face facts: what is this new life has he been chasing all this time? What price must be paid? And if destiny were real, would you rather follow it or rebel?
If you are up for exploring new lands with down-to-earth characters, or enjoy looking for patterns in a chaotic universe, this is the book for you. It may be quite alien, but it should feel familiar all the same.
