The Story from Oxinopses, Book Three of the Stories from the Circle series, follows the Caretakers Miles Dean and Oliver Crucias to a world on the Axis of Giants.  As their microscopic Oxinopsid selves, they become the people they need to be, but their Caretaker Quest is thwarted by forces greater than they thought possible.  On this world they realize the true nature of their adversary and the ultimate quest they must face.

“As a fundamental principle of any journey around the Great Circle, the farther you get from your Homeworld, the more different the fabric of reality becomes, and for an Earthborn Caretaker on his or her Apprenticeship Journey, Oxinopses is the place where creation begins to exist in ways previously unimaginable to a human.”
