Nothing is what it seems in planet Akaladia. Borders between countries and nations have been erased, and war is nothing but a painful memory of a distant, jaded past that none wish to remember. Alas, when an ill-fated omen foretells the imminent fall of the secret society of the Selected, the masters of Akaladia will stop at nothing, not only to remain in power, but to secure their own survival. In a world where all things magical and spiritual are nothing but laughable superstitions in the minds of the many, only magic and spirituality shall stand between the Selected and their final goal: stripping the people of Akaladia of the most precious and valuable thing that a human being can possess, their soul. Thirteen is the number of people who can stop the Selected from reaching their goal . . . and only one of them is aware of the terrible fate awaiting his world. Amid secret conspiracies, fake identities, betrayals, alliances and deals made behind closed doors, the fate of Universal Balance will hang on a limb when the winds of war blow again across Akaladia, for the first time in more than a thousand years. Only the greatest source of knowledge known to man may determine the conflict's final outcome: the Pinnacle of Power.
