Welcome to the Imperium of Light
What follows is the opening of House of Blades, Book One of the Gates of Babylon: the prologue and first two chapters, free to read.
A quick orientation before you begin. Humanity is scattered across countless worlds, connected by a network of ancient Gates that almost no one truly understands. Holding it all together is the Imperium of Light, and enforcing its will are the Knights Eternal, warriors granted the Sight, the ability to glimpse the branching paths of the future.
You’re about to meet one of them.
You don’t need to know anything else. Just step through.
