Everyone thought the end of the world would be loud; something heard the world over. Instead, it came with a nearly silent implosion, and a slow progression of events that changed everything. Millions died in the initial flood of creatures from the four other realms. They came from the Verdant Realm, the Echo Realm, the Dark Realm, and the Storm Realm. Some were incredibly dangerous. Others turned out to be peaceful. But all of them were stuck on Earth with no way home.

Humans thought they were solving the energy crisis. The need was great and fueled by unchecked capitalism and people who hoarded money as if they were dragons guarding gold. They were proud of their greatest invention, the Quantum Energy Bridge Stabilizer. They knew it would succeed where others had failed.

One man stood against them. Finley MacMillan had read the signs left by civilizations thousands of years old. He is also a member of the team building the QEBS and a brilliant quantum physicist in his own right, he knew things would go wrong. And as he sat watching, the world ended.

Twenty years later, his children cope with life without their father in different ways. The older, Archie, dives into science and vows to use the knowledge his father imparted on him to fix what’s been broken. The younger of the two, Alastair, knows his brother will fail. And instead of embracing his own brilliance, he becomes a member of a global enforcement division. He figures the knowledge will die with him, and that humans deserve their fate.

Then, he finds Wicker. He’s an anomaly, seemingly a being with powers from all four realms and then some. He feels strongly that he needs to be with him, and his heart slowly overrides his head. Wicker is an innocent in the world, raised in solitude in a backward city. His mission changes.

He will save the world.

And with it, he will save Wicker.
