In a world ruled by Gods, power decides who is seen and who is erased. The Great Houses stand above all, worshipped as divinities, each governing a primal power that shapes existence itself. Once, all things were held in balance by Aethra, the Dominion of Eternity. When Aethra fell, the world hardened, fractured, and learned to survive without its heart.
Kiri was never meant to matter. But time bends around her. Silence deepens. The world seems to hesitate in her presence, as though something ancient still remembers her. Then, in a single day, her home, her family, and everything she has ever known are destroyed.
She should have vanished with them.
Instead, she survives, and in the ashes she makes one impossible choice, she saves a living thing the world should already have lost.
That choice tears her into a path of monsters, shipwreck, sirens, drifting islands, and powers the surviving dominions no longer understand. Along the way, she finds others who stand outside the order of the world, a fire-marked boy dragged from chains, a beast pulled back from death, and a strange mentor whose cutting wit, odd behavior, and refusal to take anything seriously make him as frustrating as he is useful.
Because Eternity did not die with Aethra.
It was buried beneath ruin, silence, and time.
And now it is stirring.
