Summary
THE IMPASSE…
An ancient agreement between aloof gods ends a
ten-thousand-year galactic war but abandons the survivors to
the vicious attentions of corrupted Tuariel overseers. These
all-powerful servants wage a never-ending battle against
evolution and progress, their inscrutable directives driving
them to prune entire civilizations without mercy. They are
remorseless, unstoppable, and unkillable…
Or so they were until a strange new power from another plane
starts to bleed into this one. A select few harness this
Aether, resisting tyranny with strange abilities capable of
harming the Tuariel. They fashion living weapons to fight back,
igniting pockets of hope across the populated worlds.
On a distant backwater planet, a young man with a terrible
secret must flee home and family to escape certain death at the
hands of the Tuariel. An old warrior takes the boy under his
wing, revealing dark secrets of his own in the process. When
they encounter a strange enclave of misfits and undesirables
hiding at the edge of space, events take a turn that will
forever alter the course of history.
In a universe where science and magic are indistinguishable
from each other, one confused young man finds himself the
catalyst for a war he did not even know was brewing. Old
grudges, new allies, and the hopes of trillions of souls come
together in one chaotic moment that will define the future of
all sentient life forever.
