Through eternity and beyond

In the continent of Utopia, history has been rewritten. It is a land where races—human, beast-kin, and spirit—live in equality, governed only by the strength of their "Will." In this paradise, prejudice is dead, and the possibility is endless. But even paradise casts a shadow. The Soul Sovereign, a shadowy cabal of elites, prowls the unseen corners of society. They possess the terrifying ability to devour the Will of others, leaving their victims as empty husks. When seven-year-old Fiona’s parents are butchered by the Sovereign for refusing to bow, she escapes into the wilderness, carrying nothing but a traumatic memory and a strange, fluctuating magic she doesn't understand. Collapsing in the gritty backwater town of Siltbury, Fiona is taken in by a foul-mouthed, battle-ready nun and a washed-up magician obsessed with a missing hero. As Fiona tries to navigate a childhood she never expected to have, she finds herself dreaming of the prestigious Aetheria Institute. But in a world where power is currency, a penniless orphan has a long, hard road ahead—a road that might just last forever.,
