High above the troubles of the commoners of Eramyth floats the free city of Ek' Hestle. Its mages and priests have created what they view to be a perfect society, but the illusion of the people's freedom is about to be shattered by a cosmic event. Emrel has grown up believing everything her faith has taught her, but has been plagued by a series of nightmares that leave her waking with vague memories of painful visions. Soon she will be tasked with making sense of a world gone mad and left wondering how she can make any difference when she seems so lost herself. Falling in love, even though it is forbidden might be the only thing that can save her from the visions of her past and bring her into a bright new future.
