In 2020, the world seemed afflicted by a plague, not only medical but political. The Covid pandemic and the virulence and uncertainty in the United States political system felt apocalyptic. And maybe it was. Elliott Graves, a former college president and writer, is now a successful international consultant who works for companies opposed to the environmentalist movement. Unexpectedly, a huge two-headed raven lands on his driveway. It does not take long for him to realize that the raven is a visitor from another dimension, and overnight, Elliott is reluctantly transformed into a crusader. The country is in a low-grade civil war, and he gets dragged into a world of violence. As the events of the day unfold, he finds himself a part of them, but he is also pulled into another world where gods appear to be directing humans’ fate. He discovers that he is what they call an aguu, a being created by the supreme god to go between worlds, effecting the will of the gods. Elliott has no preparation for this, and as the two-headed raven drags him from city to city to right wrongs, he becomes a target for the government, which places his family in danger. Soon, he is fighting on three fronts-against the government, against the many creatures he discovers in the fugue world, and against a major company that seeks to make use of his powers. In all this, it is never entirely clear whether he is fighting for good or evil, or whether those categories even exist.
