But in a moment of brutal transfiguration, they became unkin, beings who possessed the power to alter reality by accessing the Vellum: a realm of eternity containing every possibility, every paradox, every heaven . . . and every hell. The Vellum became a battleground where forces of order and chaos fought across time and space. The ultimate weapon in that bloody war spanning through history and myth, dreams and memory, was The Book of All Hours, a legendary tome within which the blueprint for all reality is inscribed, a volume long lost amid the infinite folds of the Vellum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Until, in 2017, it was found by Reynard Carter, a young man with the blood of unkin in his veins. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Until Phreedom Messenger and her brother, Thomas, were swept up in an archetypal dance of death and rebirth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Until a hermit named Seamus Finnan found the courage to re-forge his broken soul, and a self-proclaimed angel called Metatron unleashed a plague of AI bitmites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Now, in the aftermath of the apocalypse, several survivors search desperately for the remnants of themselves scattered across the Vellum like torn pages, determined to use the blood of the unkin to rewrite The Book of All Hours, and to forge a new destiny for themselves and all humanity.
