It has been five-hundred years since the Betrayal and the fall of the Human Imperium. An Empire of thousands of years, one that stretched across Nebulas and systems, shattered over the course of a mere fifty. In its absence, the Ascension of 11 gods shackled together what was left and forged the Divine Order, the last remaining human power in the Galaxy. On one of the Order's remaining planets, an insignificant hunk of rock named Tella, a young man plots his destiny. He aims to steal a Hand of God, a relic of the Empire and the Great War that ended it. In his quest to claim the weapon, however, he is gifted a greater and forgotten power, magic itself. His discovery starts him on the Path of Magic, a destiny that will hurtle him towards pirates, treasures, places of wonder and horror, the dark secrets of the galaxy, and even the Orbit of Gods themselves.
