A thousand years ago, a group of citizens gathers in the center square of Halcyon as twelve giant visitors appear to warn the crowd of an impending chaos that will determine the fate of their world. The visitors quickly vanish, leaving the residents confused and frightened. Everyone has unknowingly just witnessed the Great Epiphany. Now, a shadow lies over the future of Halcyon as the omen uttered a thousand years ago reaches its conclusion. While the people of Halcyon remain divided, the Champion of Chaos is gathering strength. Fearing the looming Chaos, the leaders of the Circle and the religion of Assize begin a secret search for signs of the fabled Savior of Order. Meanwhile, Duncan Milius, an officer in Halcyon?s elite military force, struggles to find his place in a world that considers his people outcasts. But he cannot avoid the duties that are thrust upon him by a military that needs his skill but questions his loyalty. In a world beyond time and imagination, the residents of Halcyon face their future with foreboding. Praying that the fated Meeting between Chaos and Order arrives in a future generation, they feel a growing dread that the Meeting ? and the destruction it brings ? are on the horizon.
