The multiverse runs on a single, immutable law: balance. And someone — or something — is breaking it.
Kabl is an ordinary man living a quiet, unremarkable life. But when vivid, fever-real dreams begin pulling him into worlds and memories that aren't his own, he starts to suspect that "ordinary" may never have been the right word for him. The dreams are a warning. They're also a map.
Drawn into a vast, layered multiverse where dimensions stack upon dimensions and the space between them bends time and distance to nothing, Kabl discovers that his home, Rahet, is dying: its rivers dried up, its harvests failing, its people ground down by centuries of despair. At the center of it all sits Addlon, the self-styled Supreme High King — an immortal, indulgent tyrant who erased history itself to preserve his grip on power. Addlon did not rise to his throne alone. He was guided there by a nameless, ancient entity that whispered promises of crowns and forever from the other side of a mirror, and whose price for that gift has been the slow, systematic draining of an entire world's life force. Addlon is the face of the rot. The entity behind him is its source.
Against these forces, Kabl finds himself drawn into an unlikely alliance — with Jayme, a sharp-tongued survivor burning for justice, and with two young girls he rescues from the clutches of Kronos, a monstrous predator who preys on the vulnerable. Across wind-scorched wastelands, and the gleaming, hollow cruelty of the Golden City, Kabl must confront not only the darkness threatening to tip the scales of existence — but the extraordinary truth of who and what he really is.
With sharp humor, vivid world-building, and characters whose warmth leaps off the page, K.E. Haight launches an epic saga that asks: when the universe itself is out of balance — and the evil pulling the strings has no name — what will it take to restore equilibrium?
