Three Days (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798180258588)

A young disciple discovers from his mentor that the most powerful
illusion is not the one you perform - it's the one people perform
for themselves.

Micah is sixteen years old when he leaves his village with a coin,
a cord, and five years of training from a seasoned master. He has
learned to manage attention, to read a crowd, to give people the
experience of witnessing the unexplainable. What he has yet to
learn is how the unexplainable can turn into truth.

In the village of Kadesh, a fly lands on his open palm at the right
moment, and the story begins without him.

Three Days follows Micah across the years as the name Lotan spreads
through the region - a name he did not choose. He watches the
mechanism with the craftsman's eye: each event locks into the next
like the tooth of a ratchet, and the ratchet only turns one way.
The stories belong to the people who tell them. The truth belongs
to no one.

Set against the landscape and political tensions of a forgotten
corner of a vast empire, this is a novel about the distance between
what happens and what is remembered - about how legends are made,
what they cost, and what remains when the last witness is gone.
