Saxemir Ad Martem is a master of threads—a rare wielder of a power that binds reality itself. In his world, magic is drawn from the soul and shaped through the hands, each thread of spirit woven with precision to create, transform, or destroy. But when a forbidden discovery places him on the brink of uncovering an ancient truth, Sax is torn from everything he knows and cast into a distant place. Stranded in a desolate world and stripped of his greatest strength, Sax must survive long enough to find a way back home—to his wife, Elara, and their infant daughter. At his side stands Rem, his loyal companion and opposite in every way: where Sax is brilliant yet socially unfit, Rem is grounded, perceptive, and capable of navigating the human world Sax cannot. Their journey leads them into a civilization far more advanced than their own—one that commands the ability to traverse worlds through technology rather than magic. But Sax’s sudden arrival is no coincidence. Mistaken for an emissary, he becomes the center of a growing diplomatic crisis, as his desperate attempts to return home begin to unravel fragile political balances. Behind it all moves an ancient and unknowable force—one that has been watching, guiding, and interfering from the shadows. A being as old as reality itself, driven not by conquest, but by something far more dangerous: curiosity. As tensions rise across worlds and time itself begins to slip, Sax must confront the limits of his power, the cost of his choices, and the truth behind the threads he has spent his life weaving. Because some threads are not meant to be controlled. And some, once pulled, can unravel everything.
