The city of Matrialis has reached a breaking point. The centuries-long conflict between Divarian and Nascent has festered under the desert sun, and now the fate of two peoples hangs in the balance.

Skalyn is an elite Divarian soldier, trained to kill. She pursues one goal: vengeance for the death of her father at the hands of the Nascent. She'll stop at nothing until she makes every last one of them suffer, even if it means losing the only family she has left.

Marcor is a Nascent warrior, honed to protect his people from the Divarians. He trains relentlessly, hoping his skill will be enough to save his people from extinction. But where the other Nascent have been blessed by the Mother Goddess, Marcor has been forsaken.

Evelyn lives a sheltered life in the Divarian government seat. But something sinister lurks below Echelon Hall, a secret so dark people only dare whisper it. If Evelyn can't find the courage to face it, she'll be ruled by the tyranny of her father forever.

The coming storm threatens their very existence. Can these three find the power to stop it?
