After powerful religious artifacts are discovered during the Talomay War, the wise Cador is tasked with creating a Great Order to unlock their potential. Chosen are: * Ibrik, a respected priest willing to do almost anything for the temple; * Omero, an engineer who feels she has something to prove; * Ywaine, a playboy mathematician, as genius as he is arrogant; * Tarquin, a widower and scholar ready for his next intellectual challenge; But when four flawed people get a taste of godlike powers, will they change the world for the better or will they be changed for the worse?
