In a remarkable universe of dragons, minotaurs, and synthetic minds, where magic and science co-exist, absolute power belongs to whoever wields the Nightsword -- a weapon that controls reality itself. The mad emperor Lokan held the sword until he vanished into the quantum chaos of the galactic core, leaving the Nightsword to drift for thousands of years awaiting a new master. Merinda Neskat has dedicated her life to finding the sword and using its godlike power to restore the ancient empire of Kendis-Dai. Meanwhile, the treacherous Targ of Gandri seeks the same prize as a tool for ultimate domination. Caught between them, Earth astronaut Jeremy Griffiths is blessed -- or cursed -- with the infinite knowledge that could lead him to the Nightsword ... and plunge him into a battle for control of all existence!
