Setting
The story of Broken Sky takes place across two worlds, The Dominions and Kirin Taq, which are parallel universes, with characters known as Resonants able to "shift" themselves, others, and objects between the two worlds. The name Broken Sky comes from a myth introduced in the series that the two worlds of Kirin Taq and The Dominions were once one world, before the sky ‘split’ and they became two; though whether this is meant in a more figurative sense is left unclear throughout.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“The setting was really perfect for a brisk bubbling murder....”

“it is finally as though that thing of monstrous interest

“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
