Vhy'Rai, the power of the gods, was gifted to the Mystics with three restrictions: 1. Restoring life to the dead is forbidden. 2. Vhy'Rai may not be used to take the life of another. 3. No soul shall be divided. Those who dare to commit one of these taboos become immortal, but the immortality of one comes at a cost to many. As the galaxy is torn apart by war between the Mystics and the technologically advanced Human Empire, Drake Ashbell finds himself caught up in a conflict that will take him to distant worlds, make him face his tragic past, and test the limits of his soul.
