What if creation was never meant to stop? What if believing hard enough didn’t just shape ideas, but worlds? Ross Evans lived in a world without magic, gods, or miracles. Then a violent rupture tears him out of it and drops him into Teraulis, a ruined technological realm patrolled by metallic guardians and scarred by a catastrophe it helped create. Teraulis has merged with Pasaulis, the original world where magic flows through everything and creation itself was born. Between them rages a war more than a thousand years old, fought across realities as the veil between worlds thins.
