The Four Profound Weaves
In the Great Burri Desert, aged Uiziya seeks her aunt, the master weaver Benesret, to learn the final profound weave, a quest that demands a steep price. Meanwhile, in the city of Iyar, a nameless man grapples with his identity, having lived for years as a woman, trader, wife, and grandmother. As their paths converge, Uiziya must confront the evil Ruler of Iyar, learning to weave from the deaths that truly matter, while the man chooses between his dreamed life and Uiziya, in a world where claiming one's true self is a profound challenge.
