This series comprises the saga of the Entire, the universe next door. Reviewers have called Kay Kenyon's series "a grand world," "an enormous stage," and "a bravura concept."
Titus Quinn has forged an unstable peace with the Tarig lords, enforced by the nanotech surge weapon they believe he possesses. But in what the godwoman Zhiya calls a fit of moral goodness, he has thrown the device into the space-folding waters of the River Nigh.
In the fabled Rim City at the heart of the Entire, Quinn at last finds his daughter, now called Sen Ni. Despite their troubled past, he seeks her help against a new enemy, people who would destroy the Earth and claim the Entire for themselves. But Sen Ni has her own plans and allies, among them a boy-navitar of the Nigh, who is willing and supremely able to break his vows and bend the world.
Quinn casts his fate with the beautiful and resourceful Ji Anzi who, sent on a journey to other realms, now holds the key to Quinn's heart and his overarching mission. But as he approaches the inner sanctuary of the Tarig, he is alone. Waiting for him are powerful adversaries, including a warrior whose chaotic mind will soon be roused from an eternal slumber.
