Three epic adventures in the trilogy “of tales within tales, like those of Sinbad and his many voyages . . . Foster at his best, thoughtful and fun” (Booklist).

Follow a humble herdsman as he embarks on an honor-driven quest to rescue a beautiful Visioness in this “fast-paced mix of wry humor, high fantasy, and amazing new places and creatures” (Publishers Weekly).

Carnivores of Light and Darkness
A dying man implores Etjole Ehomba for help: find the Visioness Themaryl of Laconda and restore her to her people. Etjole—herder, fisherman, father, warrior, tracker—is a man of conviction, so he sets off to face his destiny in the Unstable Lands, where people are swallowed up by unreality—by things that should not even exist . . .

Into the Thinking Kingdoms
Now with two companions at his side—a swordsman and a gigantic black cat—Etjole Ehomba seeks to cross the blighted Semordria Ocean to reach the Visioness being held captive by an evil necromancer. But first he’ll have to head into the Thinking Kingdoms, with danger and dark magic nipping at his heels . . .

A Triumph of Souls
Together Etjole and his loyal friends have crossed the Semordria Ocean, languished in its doldrums and fenced its winds, with the help of  sargassum men, crabs, and krakens. Their journey is coming to end. And the showdown between humble herder and malevolent wizard will unleash forces that the world has never seen . . .
