Prepare to step into an atmospheric, urban fantasy epic.
The floating, dystopian empire of Centa Isla has crumbled into a catatonic state of decay that lovers of dark fantasy will enjoy.
For Rissa Rawdon, a disgraced Versorcerer, an isolated death on the floating empire of Centa Isla seems inevitable - until dark forces stir beneath the city's towering shadows.
As demonic servants infiltrate the very foundations of the city, a fierce storm arrives, bringing with it a vengeful renegade.
In the chaos, Rissa glimpses a sliver of hope... a chance to reclaim control of her destiny and forge a new purpose in a world teetering on the edge of collapse.
From author Jack Hale, comes a world shaped and ruined by the discovery of magic. The means to control the elements, The Algarethan Verse, is now illegal outside of the academy from which it is taught. As a resource crisis erodes faith in the monarchy, the city is quietly invaded by servants of a great evil, bestowed with dark powers by demonic Brands scalded into their flesh.
