Long ago, a catalysmic war cracked the world open and exterminated the Elder races. From the ashes rose their human inheritor, the Dawn Republic, to rule over the land unopposed. No more. Deep below the Gap, Gyre Silvereye discovered a hidden city. There, the ghouls had dwelt for four hundred years, awaiting the moment when they could wreak their vengeance on the Dawn Republic.
With their help, Gyre can finally see a way to overthrow the all-powerful Twilight Order. But the ghouls do not give their trust easily, and Gyre will need to secure the alliance of the human rebels to the south if they are to even stand a chance. And uniting the two won't be simple. Though his sister Maya still fights for the Order, she is no longer certain where her loyalties lie. Chasing the origins of a mysterious artefact to a long-lost library, she just might find the truth- whether she is ready or not.
