A thousand years after the Cataclysm shattered civilization, humanity clings to survival in scattered city-states connected by airship travel. When Steele awakens from cryosleep into this fractured world, he discovers that the past he knew has become legend—and the future he faces is infected by a spreading crystallization that turns flesh to glass and mind to obedience. Desperate for answers, Steele joins forces with Kora, a telekinetic scavenger; Xenon, a consciousness trapped in a dying body; and an unlikely alliance of scientists, warriors, and rebels. Together, they must navigate political intrigue between warring factions, uncover the truth behind a mysterious cult, and race against time to find a cure before the crystal plague consumes what's left of the world. But in a realm where consciousness can be transferred, bodies stolen, and reality itself bends to the will of those who control it, Steele will discover that some cures come at a terrible cost—and some enemies wear familiar faces. A genre-blending epic of airships and dragons, ancient magic and lost technology, where the line between salvation and damnation is as fragile as crystallized flesh.
