A Television Series Adaptation by True View Entertainment

Split Infinity is the first-ever screen adaptation of Piers Anthony’s Apprentice Adept novels, a seven-book series that blends science fiction and fantasy in a way unlike anything else. The story follows Stile, a master jockey and Gamesman living on Proton, a world stripped bare by centuries of industry. Life here is contained within massive domes where Citizens rule, Serfs serve, and every chance for survival and status depends on competing in The Game.

The Game is more than just entertainment—it’s the foundation of Proton’s society. Part gladiator arena, part intellectual duel, part viral spectacle, it covers everything from dangerous physical contests to games of chance, music, and strategy. Winning means fame, fortune, and even the possibility of becoming a Citizen. Losing can mean the end of everything. For Stile, The Game isn’t just sport—it becomes the battleground for his very life.

When an assassination attempt shatters his career, Stile flees and stumbles across the Curtain, a mysterious veil between worlds. On the other side lies Phaze, a land of magic, prophecy, and living myth. Here, every person has a counterpart in Proton—except when one has died, leaving the other free to cross. Stile’s sudden arrival means his parallel self is gone, and his destiny now threads through both realities. In Phaze, he meets Neysa, a unicorn with the ability to take human and animal form; Sheen, an android learning to be more than machine; and Kurrelgyre, a werewolf exiled from his pack. Together, they navigate prophecy and power in a land ruled by the Adepts—sorcerers like the Red, Yellow, and Black Adepts, each with dominions as dangerous as their ambitions. 

From Proton’s sterile domes and polluted wastelands to Phaze’s lush mountains, rivers, and enchanted castles, Split Infinity is a story of contrast. It is about a man forced to master both science and sorcery, where every step brings him closer to uncovering a conspiracy that spans realities. At its heart, it is a journey of self-discovery, echoing the Oracle’s cryptic warning: Know thyself. 

With more than 30 million books sold worldwide and a devoted fan base, Piers Anthony’s work has influenced generations—but this is the first time his vision will be brought to the screen. Split Infinity promises a sweeping saga of survival, identity, and transformation, set against a backdrop where technology and magic collide. 

Piers Anthony, is one of the most enduring voices in speculative fiction. With a career spanning nearly six decades and over 200 published novels, his influence has shaped generations of readers. Born in England and immigrating to the United States at the age of six, Anthony’s journey is as storied as the worlds he creates—rooted in resilience, curiosity, and a lifelong bond with the natural world.

Much of his storytelling is deeply personal. Writing from his horse farm in rural Florida, Anthony’s life with animals—particularly horses—has left a distinct mark on his work. The Apprentice Adept series, one of his most visionary and personal creations, is infused with the rhythms and realities of life on horseback. Scenes like Stile carefully inspecting Battle Ax from head to hoof before a ride reflect a true horseman’s instinct—grounded, practiced, and deeply respectful of the animal. That detail comes from experience: Anthony and his first wife raised their daughters alongside two family horses, Sky Blue and Misty. Together, they would ride as a family, building memories that later surfaced—often unconsciously—in the texture of his stories. It’s no wonder the scenes feel so real. They are.

But Anthony’s real life is also filled with unexpected adventure. As a young boy fleeing the outbreak of World War II, he crossed the Atlantic aboard the SS Excalibur. For his sixth birthday, he was given a harmonica—an instrument he couldn’t quite play, but carried proudly through the ship’s corridors, unwittingly annoying fellow passengers with his endless tootling. Among them? None other than Edward, the abdicated king of England, traveling to his post as Governor of the Bahamas. Anthony imagines the scene with a wink—Edward sighing, asking someone to please take that harmonica from the child. That playful spirit lives on in Split Infinity, when Stile plays a duet with the unicorn Neysa, echoing the sound of a boy discovering music, freedom, and imagination for the first time.

With 21 appearances on The New York Times Best Seller list, 30+ million books sold, and a readership that spans the globe, Piers Anthony has built one of the most prolific legacies in speculative fiction. Known for groundbreaking series like Incarnations of Immortality, Xanth, and The Apprentice Adept, he has always dared to blend genres, challenge conventions, and ground the fantastical in emotional truth.

And yet, despite this extraordinary body of work, none of his stories have ever been adapted for the screen—until now.
