In an alternate timeline, the Kuni – materialistic adherents of a male-dominated religion – threaten to overthrow the Guardians – an ancient alliance that oversees the earth’s resources and peoples. The Kuni of Constantina, a small colony of Europan settlers on the Kanatan continent, lead the revolt, endangering surrounding ecosystems and indigenous communities. When the Guardians punish the Constantinan Kuni, the worldwide repercussions are terrifying: for both the Kuni and indigenous peoples. Separated by 12,000 years, two nearly omnipotent women – the creators of this alternate timeline – converge once more to save humanity from its own failings. Will they succeed or will all life be annihilated?

“And that is why our work is not finished, Constantinans. The enemy still surrounds us. They still try to snatch away our liberties. Why should we let the savages tell us how we can use our lands and our rivers? Why should we simply accept the borders they have imposed on our nation? And why — why should we allow those Godless barbarians to tell us how to worship?”
