Fin Wilson is a brilliant young physicist on the cusp of a breakthrough, but one clear morning, an anomalous bolt of lightning shatters everything he knows. The unnatural flash rips through the sky, striking him dead and sending him into darkness. He expects oblivion. Instead, the chaos of the storm fades into an endless starlit void. Disoriented and very much alive, Fin awakens in a cosmic expanse of stars with no world in sight. Floating in that strange nothingness, Fin meets Kailos, an embarrassed bureaucratic deity in charge of cosmic affairs. Kailos solemnly confesses that Fin’s death was a divine accident, a clerical error in the machinery of fate, and offers extraordinary compensation. As penance for prematurely severing Fin’s life-thread, the deity offers him a second chance: reincarnation in Aetherys, a distant world of elemental magic. Fin is stunned to learn that he will be reborn with his memories intact and a newly enhanced affinity for elemental energy, especially the lightning that once killed him. Now reborn in the realm of Aetherys, Fin’s scientific mind collides with raw magic in an alien world. He retains all his Earthly knowledge even as electricity sparks at his fingertips. Around him, science and sorcery intertwine. Questions and possibilities swirl in his mind. Fin steps toward a vast new destiny as he struggles to harness the storm within and uncover the cosmic mystery that brought him here.
