Nestled within this awe-inspiring landscape, the Mud Whale emerges as a magnificent floating island city, crafted from clay and imbued with mystical energies. Within its confines, a small, resilient community struggles to survive, cut off from its own history by the haunting shadows of the past. Neither fully human nor fully Nous, the enigmatic emperor has spent countless centuries observing the human condition, deeply empathizing with the sorrow that seems to plague their existence. Driven by an unwavering desire to bring joy and happiness to humanity, he is willing to undertake any measure, even if it means risking the very destruction of the world, to realize his grand and visionary plan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe emperor's determination knows no bounds, as he meticulously orchestrates a series of intricate events, each designed to propel the world towards a brighter future. With a firm grip on power and a thirst for knowledge, he harnesses the ancient magic that permeates the Mud Whale to manipulate time and shape reality. His grand plan unfolds like a intricate puzzle, with each piece carefully placed to bring about a harmonious convergence of the human and Nous realms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet, as the emperor's ambitions grow, so too does the sense of unease that permeates the air. The people, caught in the crosshairs of the emperor's grand scheme, begin to question the true cost of happiness and the price they must pay for salvation. They fear that the emperor's obsession with power and control may lead to the destruction of everything they hold dear, including their own identities and freedoms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the tension between the emperor and the people escalates, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. The emperor's grand plan may bring about a new era of prosperity and unity, or it may unleash a catastrophic force that obliterates all existence. Only time will tell whether the emperor's vision will become a reality, or whether the shadows of the past will ultimately prevail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 196g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 145 x 210 x 16 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781974736102\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abi Umeda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44201297969402,"sku":"9781974736102","price":7.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1682688369079_book.jpg?v=1682791870","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/children-of-the-whales-vol-21-9781974736102","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
