This epic fantasy series will follow a young seer who sees a vision of the end of the world. The seer lives in a Roman-esque empire where state authorities wield both governmental and religious power. When the seer tells the authorities about his vision, he finds himself on the run as the ruling class brands him an enemy of the state.
Meanwhile, the seer's brother trains to become one of these state authorities and wrestles with the fact that his brother is now a wanted criminal. He also finds himself enveloped in the machinery of war as the empire expands its territory.
To the east, a young woman belonging to a besieged city undertakes a desperate plan to break the blockade and thus protect the secrets of her culture's metalwork. And to the west, twins in a newly conquered territory find themselves embroiled in a plot to throw off the yoke of occupation and establish a free kingdom once again.
Elsewhere, in a parallel dimension designed as a prison, a young woman awakes with no memory of who she is yet equipped with the trappings of the priestesshood. After fighting one of the demons that inhabits this prison realm, the young woman finds other members of the priestesshood and begins to learn her purpose: protect the world outside from the creatures trapped within the prison realm. But trouble brews and forces are set in motion which may undo the seal on the realm and unleash destruction on the world.
