Physical Magic [A Moving Islands Progression Fantasy]

"Terrific progression fantasy, perfect for fans of John Bierce's Mage Errant or Will Wight's Cradle series. A wonderfully imagined story that moves at breakneck speed. Read it. You'll want a Lugopo too!" –Dyrk Ashton, author of Kraken Rider Z and The Paternus Trilogy Welcome to the Shifting Lands, where islands move quickly through the world ocean. Different peoples and their gods are thrown together by these islands, but few know the true source of the gods' power.  Silluka was born with only one full arm and hand, in a village of bodycasters using exact physical control of every part of their bodies to summon the favor of the gods and perform incredible feats. But a new island is speeding toward their coastal town, and only the wall of storms and the godlike storm warriors are keeping the deadly hurricanes and tidal waves away. But then a new creature bursts through the wall of storms, stronger even than Silluka’s brother Ichu, the best bodycaster in the village. It’s only the forerunner for a species of terrifying turtlemen: fast, deadly, and ready to invade the larger island. Pushed into a journey by an elder of the village who is not who she seems, an octopus-like technological wizard who worships eldritch gods, and her brother’s failing abilities, Silluka must learn the scope of the world outside her village. She must learn Physical Magic.
