The Pillars of Reality series by Jack Campbell is set on Dematr, a world where the Great Guilds control all knowledge and power through their monopoly on magic. The Mage Guild, Mechanics Guild, Merchants Guild, and others dominate civilization, keeping ordinary people dependent and powerless.

Into this world come two young Mages who have been taught to believe the others are their enemies. Mari is a Master Mechanic, trained in the technology and knowledge controlled by the Mechanics Guild. Alain is a Master of Mages, trained in the mysterious arts controlled by the Mage Guild. But both begin to question the world they have been raised in and the Guilds that rule it.

Their unlikely partnership becomes the key to challenging centuries of Guild domination. Campbell blends fantasy with science fiction, creating a world where seemingly magical abilities and advanced technology coexist but have been jealously guarded and weaponized by powerful guilds. The series explores freedom, truth, and the courage to challenge the systems that control every aspect of life.
