Three separated siblings learn to live different lives on a poisonous planet where cities are walled off from the walking dead and the star gods vie for recognition and power through proxy fights. Eimarille is meant to rule a divided country, even if it means war. Soren was meant to die, but he survives in the poison fields and draws the attention of a foreign prince, further complicating Eimarille’s plans. Caris is ignorant of her past, but that won’t keep her from a future the gods have written out for her in the stars. Everyone has a road to walk, and theirs will break the borders of Maricol in a bid for peace that each views differently.
