Time-and-space opera. Godlike magical constructs toy with the fabric of reality for their own obtuse ends, and mortal warriors from across the realms are plucked from their planes of origin to act as proxies and footsoldiers in a game they don't fully understand. A bright outsider and a dogged non-conformist defy the expectations of their peers and seek dangerous truths, and greater stakes than either could have imagined are wagered against the fates.
