Within Inner Expanses, every night is a battle to the death.
Yarut, a swordsman with flesh like stone, fights for control of his own potential and dominance over the many monsters that he calls his brethren and neighbours. Beings of all shapes and sizes combat one another in gruelling and bloody conflicts, but death is not the end. Each morning they are revived and are forced to exert their minds on inane tasks, only to end the evenings in another nightly battle. The cycle repeats itself endlessly until Yarut accomplishes his daily task and changes begin to unfold throughout his world and parallel ones.
Jim Lobe, unaware of the conflict in the nearby linked dimension, goes about his mundane life until the paradigm shift reaches him. His life begins to change for reasons unknown to him. His struggles and difficulties multiply and expand, but so does his joy and confidence in himself.
