Centuries have passed since the Dhal’nar fled the Sphere of Man, fearing extinction at the hands of humans. All that remains of the otherworldly race are the forgotten relics and ruins of an ancient age, now coveted by kingdoms.
Aliss Cistalion has never set foot beyond her city’s walls. An untested servant of the Prophet, Dhal’nar history is heresy to her creeds. But someone high in the Empire believes otherwise, deeming her worthy of leading her first expeditionary force. The Empire’s very survival hinges on her to pursue the rumors of a Dhal’nar relic buried behind enemy borders. Intent on restoring the Empire’s glory, Aliss leaves her home and family behind, with no promise of seeing either ever again.
Across the sea, the Protectorate are the long-hated enemies of the Luviatran Empire— and seek the rumored Dhal’nar relics for themselves. Already, they possess a powerful Dhal’nar craft capable of prophecy, and seek to plunder yet another jewel to add to their trove. Having lost their lands to the Protectorate centuries ago, Aliss and her squad of veterans must outrace them, lest their dying Empire be doomed to become a footnote in the annals of man.
