Fushi returns from isolation to a society that has made him into a legend. This book suits readers interested in the distance between his life and other people's accounts of it. After Pioran's death, he has been living alone on a desert island. The move back toward human society brings an unfamiliar problem: people already have reasons to seek or fear him before they know him as a person.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Hisame, a descendant of a former enemy, arrives to lead Fushi toward a village destroyed by Nokkers. Her arrival connects inherited relationships with the larger legend of the Immortal. The change in emphasis is substantial: Fushi must encounter a public identity that has developed around his absence. Returning does not mean resuming the place he left. Fear and expectation can reach him before acquaintance does, and the story now has to account for those competing versions of him. Immortality includes losing control of what people say your life means.
