Rules are the chains, contracts the path to godhood. But when the "contracts" that bind the Myriad Worlds themselves become warped, and the "Court of Judgment," which administers punishment, turns into an accomplice, what is left for beings who have always followed the rules to do? A team known as the "Keys to the Covenant" accidentally becomes the inheritor of ancient truths and the center of a storm ushering in a new age as they seek the source of their power. Bearing a long-sealed inheritance and forbidden knowledge, they must sleep while hunted and wait in the depths of despair, all in the hope of finding the world an "other shore" beyond the rules before the end arrives.
