Introduction

The world of Zotikas is a palette loaded with more color and vibrance than the world in which we live. The mental, spiritual, and physical realms of Zotikas are far more entwined, allowing interaction with these aspects of reality in a more tangible way.  That said, the time in which Kieler and Velirith live is one of spiritual desolation.  It is a time when once-obvious truth has been obscured.

The dynastic system of governance, the Avertoric Omeron, has been in decline for centuries. Now, those not in the ruling families are suffering oppression.

Kieler, son of an outcast, assumes the identity of a missing noble to infiltrate and overthrow the corrupt ruling class of the Omeron. His goal is obstructed by a ruthless cadre of incumbents, his grief-distorted perception of the world, and his own character flaws.

Velirith is a young lady of unusual perception. The daughter of an Omeron Noble, she is both an obstacle and an ally to Kieler depending on her capricious moods.  Despite her proclivity for mischief, her ability to perceive the truth compels her to unravel the deceptions of her world.

Kieler, grasping for identity, and Velirith, denying her obligations, nevertheless provide the impulse for a rising wave of insurrection in the world of Zotikas.
