Twelve years ago, the Hume and Heinrich families were destroyed under accusations of treason against the Empire. Ralph Veir Hume, who was only eight years old at the time, was the sole survivor—but at a cost. As a "prisoner" hidden behind the white robes of a priest, he grew up within the church, a place meant to symbolize peace, yet for Ralph, it was nothing more than an endless cage.
Now, at the age of twenty, Ralph has finally been ordained as an official priest. But this is not out of devotion to God—it is merely the first step in his journey to uncover the truth behind his family's downfall. With the mystical power of "Author" from the Imaginer path, he can rewrite reality—a dangerous gift in a world ruled by eight mystical paths, where the Church, the Empire, and various factions vie for ultimate control.
In a world where faith is a weapon and truth is a curse, can Ralph find the answers he seeks before he himself becomes a pawn sacrificed in the grand scheme?
