History, in any world, is shaped by those precious few bearing great influence, be it from wealth, charisma, or strength. But not all those with such power ever expected to wield any, much less a kind which could be described as magic.
Phileina, a humble servant to a greater good, wishes nothing more than to live out peaceful days with her best friend. Yet a part of her yearns for something more, something holy laws forbid. After taking up arms for his country, Davin now holds a hoe, as well as the mantle of fatherhood. But when his son, too, becomes an independent man, he must find a new purpose to drive him. And young Melly has plenty of dreams, too many dreams for the slum to hold. Her most fervent, though, is a simple one: that nobody goes hungry, least of all her family.
As the strings of fate weave themselves, these three will come to bear the future on their shoulders, when an abominable threat encroaches upon their homes. For they are Breakers, with the ability to rewrite the rules of reality. They just don't know it yet.
