In a fractured world teetering on the edge of wavering Stability, chosen heroes known as Synchrony must traverse the perilous path linking the Five Great Cities. Bearing mysterious magical torches, most Synchrony never live to enjoy their triumphant return for long.
Kaia, an emergency Synchrony sent early as a last resort, uncovers an ancient power in ruins outside Stability—and learns the society she fought to protect rests on a shattered foundation of lies.
But are the powers at play truly worse than the monstrous Others lurking beyond Stability’s crumbling borders?
