Sakrattars, a university dropout estranged from his wealthy family.
Jo, a branded exile, the perpetrator of a crime she refuses to revisit.
Kaja, a timid girl with magical abilities that defy explanation.
Amale, who left everything he ever knew in search of a better life.
Leif, a mercenary hiding from his past behind a jovial smile.
No one would have expected them to be heroes. . .
The Aurean Empire, once the dominating force at the heart of Calthia, is crumbling. Those who have been waiting for their chance at greatness will seize power at any cost. As political chaos erupts across the continent, four unlikely companions come together with a humble goal: helping a mysterious young girl named Kaja find her way home.
But when it comes to light that Kaja’s lost people have the ability to turn the tide in the power struggle gripping Calthia, suddenly all eyes—friend and foe alike—are turned towards her.
