Publisher's Synopsis
A vague plea for help, buried who knew how long ago, in a place only one person could've found. That wasn't among the fantasies Saebold hoped would finally push him off his cold, barren home of Greytide, but by that point knowing someone else awaited his departure was good enough. Preparing swiftly, he departs for a land of color... and arrives in an era of clamour.
From border disputes to monster attacks to a black market for powerful relics, a wearying curtain of doubt suppresses the world. Many a scandal hid beneath it, many a sinner has smoothed and patched it; but now, as the din reaches its peak, the time approaches for all to pay the price. Beneath the commotion, a patient but vengeful idol makes its move. Its silent call reaches the ear of a roguish but influential scientist, and presents an irresistibly simple offer: a way to not only repair the world, but to broaden it beyond all comprehensible scope.
The clock begins to tick, as Saebold grows wise not only to these plans, but to how much he's already interfered in them. He must remain sharp as a knife, but innocent as a child, if he wishes to thwart - to survive - the evil that grows in the shadow of two thrones.
