Descrição
In a world where gods are as real as the people who worship them, the story revolves around Om, a once-mighty deity reduced to the form of a tortoise. Stripped of his grandeur, he craves the reverence of his followers, yet struggles to make himself heard in a society increasingly dominated by dogma and blind faith. Om's journey through the whims of his own creation reveals the absurdities of organized religion and the fragility of belief.
As Om navigates this new reality, he encounters Brutha, a novice who possesses the rare ability to truly listen. Their fates intertwine as they embark on an adventure that challenges notions of power, piety, and personal conviction. Brutha’s unwavering faith contrasts sharply with Om's desperate attempts to regain his followers, creating a rich tapestry of philosophical inquiry interwoven with humor.
In his signature style, the author combines sharp wit with thought-provoking commentary, exploring the nature of belief and the dynamics of religion. Each character serves as a reflection of humanity's own struggles with faith, conviction, and the search for meaning in an often absurd world.
Through the lens of satire and fantasy, profound questions regarding morality, loyalty, and the reliability of narratives emerge. Ultimately, the journey leads readers to ponder what it truly means to be divine in a world that continually challenges the nature of faith and sacrifice.
