So, a bit of background about this novel. I've been writing this for about 7 years now. The basic plot is that the two main characters haven't seen each other in about 20 years. They were best friends before, but since Seres was forced to become the Caretaker of the Multiverse (the Alezrani), he cut all contact with Wolf. Now, 20 years later, the Collective (the ruling body of the multiverse) want him to come back to them and they send Wolf to bring him back.
