At the heart of the story is Daniel Ward, an ordinary man drawn into an extraordinary conflict that spans centuries, dimensions, and the fragile boundary between chaos and control. As Daniel's world unravels, he is forced to confront forces far older and more powerful than he ever imagined — and to question whether humanity's imperfections are weaknesses to be silenced or strengths worth fighting for.
