All life on Noreis once went extinct.
Over thousands of years, the story of how and why it happened has devolved from history and myth, and from the dust of fading memories, life has spurned anew. A new world has erected with city-states that have skyscrapers that touch the heavens, lands covered in crystals with pavements like rock candy, and culture is rich and vibrant. Some people flourish in the footsteps of their ancestors while others drown in their shadows. Women rule among men, disputes are fickle, and a brighter history is being written.
But trouble is brewing.
One man’s desire to learn of the Transcendence Theory causes ripples in the world’s placid fabric. At the core of a widening conflict are several people with varying backgrounds, dreams, and tragedies: A wildlife tour guide begins a journey of vengeance when his father is murdered before his eyes; a brazen young woman finds herself encased in an enigmatic white glow; a beloved hero thrives on his family name while his son suffers fame’s consequences; a political animal is on the verge of giving birth to child that should not exist; and the Ravens of Dusk are preparing to make their presence known.
Shifts in the world’s balance threaten the long-standing peace of its inhabitants. Political ties are shifting and breaking, unlikely alliances are forming, and betrayals are devastating. As dawn sheds light on the beginning of the end of days, only one thing is certain: whatever once caused a global extinction thousands of years threatens to repeat itself.
