Hammer of the Forge 1: The Cosmo-Knight
 |
The fabric of space and time is torn asunder and Earth becomes a nexus - a gateway - to countless alien worlds and the forces of magic and the supernatural. Thus begins the saga of Rifts.
Now imagine not one¸ but three galaxies said to contain millions of inhabited worlds.
At its center is Phase World¸ itself the commercial and technological center of the universe and terminus of all known spacelanes. A world where transdimensional gates reach to hundreds of other universes.
All of it is said to be the creation of the mythical Cosmic Forge. A wonder capable of giving birth to a million galaxies. A sentient force of magic and technology and life that¸ when misused but once¸ long ago¸ hid itself away¸ but watches and waits. For what¸ no one knows. While it waits¸ the Forge sometimes reaches out to touch the few who are worthy¸ and gift them with the power of the cosmos.
Becoming a Cosmo-Knight is something children across the Three Galaxies dream about. But for Caleb Vulcan of Earth¸ the stories of the Cosmic Forge are unknown. As he teeters at a crossroads¸ he has no idea what is speaking to him nor the power of the choice he is about make.
Join Caleb on his adventures across the Megaverse¸ visit Phase World and meet an eclectic range of people from True Atlanteans and Space Wulfen to the Kreeghor and Cosmo-Knights.
