ELIAN is an anomaly in Haven. In a peaceful realm where the air is pure and every inhabitant is perfectly adapted, Elian's different nose is a constant, suffocating reminder that they don't quite belong. Their unique physiology, which tolerates conditions that would kill their people, is quietly dismissed as a harmless eccentricity. But the restlessness in Elian's heart demands more than the placid, predictable life of their home.
When a chance exploration beyond the realm's pristine borders leads to the discovery of Ancient Marks-symbols of a technology their elders swore was just folklore-Elian ignites a power that was never meant to be touched. Pulled through a terrifying, mind-bending rift, they crash-land in a hostile, poisoned world where every breath should be their last.
Stranded and fighting for survival against toxic environments and a strange new sickness, Elian discovers their difference is not a flaw, but a power: they are a Realm Walker, uniquely able to survive anywhere. It's a gift that immediately puts a target on their back. The realms are a network of biological prisons, and they are all controlled by the brutal, unseen power of The Boss.
Now, with their own sheltered home on the verge of discovery, Elian must go from curious wanderer to reluctant rebel, guided by a mysterious Samaritan with a dark past. The peaceful life they left behind is shattering, and Elian's quest to find a rumored sanctuary-the mythical All-Realm-is the only chance to save not just their people, but every race trapped beneath the Tyrant's boot.
