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.
