The planets, stars, galaxies, every object in the Universe, had its counterpart in another dimension. Existence was divided into two realms: the real one, and the one ruled by the imagination of the first. As is known, Earth was dominated by an intelligent species called Homo sapiens, or, in everyday language, humans. Human imagination had given rise to a parallel universe of their world, one where divine beings such as Angels, Dominions, and Demons reigned supreme. The Dominions and Angels had maintained a relatively peaceful relationship, though filled with restrictions. The Demons, on the other hand, remained largely indifferent. Unlike Earth, this world was divided into two main parts: the island of Ladnoria, where the divine nations coexisted, and the supercontinent of Zagros, where the mortal nations dwelled. This imaginary world was further divided into seven kingdoms. Alongside the three divine kingdoms mentioned earlier were the kingdoms of humans, elves, vampires, and hybrids. In the grand kingdom of the Dominions, Tamasi, we witness the birth of our main character, Voidanos. The revelation of his unique destiny as the Uanamangura, a legendary figure with the potential to bring about cataclysmic events, shakes not only the Dominion nation, but all the divine nations to their core. The other characters are forced to confront the implications of this extraordinary discovery, setting the stage for a careful examination of the infant's fate and the future of their nations...

"I'm gone now, but I'm still very near. Death can never separate us. Each time you feel a gentle breeze, it's my hand caressing your face. Each time the wind blows, it carries my voice, whispering your name. When the wind blows your hair ever so slightly, think of it as me pushing a few stray hairs back in place. When you feel a few raindrops fall on your face, it's me placing soft kisses. At night, look up in the sky and see the stars shining so brightly. I'm one of those stars, and I'm winking at you and smiling with delight. For never forget, you're the apple of my eye." Mary M Green Gibbs Carter is a troubled young boy who is grieving the loss of his grandfather, Jude. Being that the two were close, Gibbs felt like he had a part of his own heart ripped from him.
