Story Summary
In ages long past, from the very dawn of existence, there came forth two primal forces: an angelic embodiment of Order and a demonic spawn of Chaos. Since time without measure, these eternal adversaries have contended fiercely for mastery over a relic of great power—the Dimensional Soul. Order, the reign, has triumphed without end, shaping the cosmos into ten distinct dimensions and siring the Light and Dark Bringers, whose kindred spirits have dwelt in harmony throughout the ages.
Yet peace is fragile. The newest Lord of the Dark Bringers, in a moment of ruinous defiance, shattered the Dimensional Soul, plunging the fabric of reality into chaos and disarray.
As war's shadow gathers, a Prophecy emerges—a herald of hope foretelling a chosen champion, The Hero destined to mend the fractured Soul and stave off the universe's doom.
Now, after more than ten years, the burden and blessing of this foretold fate rest upon young Lucy Dorian Adams,
but fourteen summers old—a soul cast forth upon a quest beyond all ken.
With cryptic allies to guide her and relentless foes in pursuit, Lucy must brave perilous realms, face the darkest depths of her own spirit, and restore the fragile order of both cosmos and self.
