What if every child was born given birth itself to a star in our Universe? What if that star was linked to the child’s lifeforce to mirror its own level of imagination?

This story feeds from this premise. It explores the duality of imagination and pragmatism, faith and science, by proposing an original fanciful interpretation of our expanding universe.

The story sets in Royal Prussia in the early 16th century. It revisits the life of revolutionary, yet secretive polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and the genesis of his heliocentric theory by adding some high fantasy and magic to it.

It starts with a clueless Copernicus living in the royal city of Herensuge as the prime physician to ruthless and doctrinal King Clothar Henrik Bendison, ruler of Haldor, in a fantasy world called Espero. Torn apart by political feuds, corruption, religious quarrels and geological instability, Espero is on the brink of civil war.

One day, as Copernicus gets to experience some rare, unexpected magical abilities, he is surprised by the visit of an ancient astronomer of legend called the Mistowl, who foresees a terrible chain of events about to unfold around him. That same night, the king is brutally murdered and proof points at Copernicus being the perpetrator. While the Archbishop of the Teklanne Church Lorne Seweryn, newly appointed Steward of Herensugue, leads the investigation against him, determined to make him pay, Copernicus is forced to run away.

Helped by the Mistowl and a secret organization known as the Mithra, chased by religious zealots, Copernicus embarks on a journey across and inside Espero to solve the mystery behind his sudden magical gift and the death of King Bendison, slowly learning a terrible truth hidden deep within himself. That he might not be from Espero at all but from a distant place called "Earth".

Who is he then? What is Espero? How did he come to it? And why does he not have any recollection of that "Earth" world?

With so many answers to find, Copernicus understands one thing. He needs to save Espero first.
