Thrown into the midst of conflict, Jaxon Ward will have to come to terms with what it means to be human in this new world.

Brought out of what this world calls the tempering cycle, he finds that everything he knew about reality was a lie.

He is now a citizen of Human Empire, a small but consolidated power on the fringes of a much larger intergalactic playing field.

As a member of the fifth and final wave of The Guards of Gaia, Jaxon and his peers are saddled with the hopes of the masses, who seek to find shelter in the coming storm.

However, finding safety in this new world won't be easy, when even Gods and Demons are terrified of what lurks just beyond the veil.
