Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, DC, when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew was given access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite.

Millennia before Peter became Pan, Haephan is an orphan pickpocket scraping by on the filthy streets of Rainhold when divine events sweep him into breaking the world.

A clock hangs over the head of every mortal. Counting down to the inescapable day that the Goddess of Death claims them. That is the way of the world. The natural cycle of mortals. The Gods, however, were said to live for forever. To exist so far outside of the natural laws of the universe that even their crimes can't be punished. But Knell Coba, at great cost, realizes this is nothing but another lie.

The bond is broken. Ascension is coming. The Advent is rising. And the enemy is winning.

There was a time when magic was welcome in the country of Chahir, but that was nearly two centuries ago. Now, all forms of magic are strictly forbidden. Anyone caught using magic, or possessing magical abilities, are immediately imprisoned and executed. For Garth, that policy is a problem. As Garth approaches his 16th birthday, he realizes that he definitely has magical abilities. What's worse, he has no control over them. In order to stay alive, he only has one choice—he must leave his homeland, Chahir, and flee into the neighboring country, Hain.

Xiaolang rarely hesitates in his speech. When he wanted to say something, he said it. “He’ll be very important in the future,” Xiaolang murmured. “I’m not sure how to put this….” he paused, mouth rummaging for words. “Something will change very soon, Garth. Someone will be discovered who will change everything. When that happens, you need to trust Trev’nor like he trusts you.

In the digital age, information controls the world. It can reshape not only how we think, but our very way of life. However, this information is not merely limited to what you see on a computer screen. Within Dale's world, such world-altering information can come from almost everywhere, even from beyond the world itself.

Angels are on the brink of extinction. Smothered in black clouds, the Earth that we once knew is gone, replaced by a land plagued with nightmares and pain. It is a world ruled by the cruel claws and fangs of Demons, one where light is most unwelcome.
