The World of the Eternal has no borders: it is beautiful and multifaceted, but merciless toward cowardice, greed, and betrayal. This World, placed under the Creator’s hand, has been entrusted to reasonable beings—and now, watching who among them will become a worthy and careful master of His creation, He cannot remain indifferent to the fates of His heroes. But the ways of the Lord are inscrutable, and everything could have turned out quite differently if a young officer of the Children of Wrath, a student of the Eternal, had not stepped beyond the boundary of this universe—had not found new friends, met God, fallen in love with a marvelous stranger, and paid for all of it with his own life.
