Death was a bummer. Well, not for Akal. A death on Earth only meant
a birth into the multiverse. It did for him, anyway. Just when he
thought he was checking out and taking his last breath, he was
standing... on an island. In space. With a pretty tree and bench on
it. There was a little breeze, too. But, where was it coming from?
Countless star systems, galaxies and universes stood before Akal
but their numbers couldn't rival the amount of questions he had. He
knew all the answers were out there somewhere, but they wouldn't do
him any good if he didn't know where to start. Slowly but surely,
through tribulations across a myriad of experiences, Akal starts to
piece together what had happened to him, as well as his wife. His
one true love across all of existence. His wife's fate was just the
tip of an iceberg of multiversal manipulation and deranged hate for
the weak and vulnerable. Akal's wife was not weak, but she was
definitely vulnerable. Akal seethed and seeped with regret at his
inaction before his transformation, but never strayed too far from
his personal goal of making up for it. There had been a dark and
grotesque exploitation of people going on since time seemingly
began, and Akal planned to stop it. Before long, Akal was dodging
gunfire from the United States Army in 1877, sailing and fighting
in space millennia later, and dodging the razor-sharp wings of
assassins high in the skies of Kestrellia. The quests seemed
unending but were absolutely necessary in the name of getting
information. He dared someone to stop him. Akal is quickly humbled,
however. He is humbled numerous times in countless physical and
emotional ways by friends and by the multiverse. Only when he
learns that the power of patience and joy of learning outweigh any
abilities or powers, does he start to reap the rewards of true
strength and understanding. As insignificant as any single creature
may be within the context of the multiverse, Akal eventually
discovers how that margin can be narrowed by a single act. How he
and others like him live their lives may show us how to more
thoroughly live our one. Souls of Astraeus is a distinct and
engaging science fiction and fantasy adventure that redefines the
role of the hero and the hero's motives, without cynicism or
naivete. Souls of Astraeus shows us that knowledge and love can be
attained by everyone without having to sell their souls.
