A girl without magic. A boy without choices. A world without light.

In a world of perpetual dusk, the Nine Cities stand alone amidst the endless black of the Ul’Gaaran swamp. For millennia, they have survived on the edge of the rot, only to be bled dry by Azrithar, the Silver City—seat of the Grand Regent, who claims a ruthless Tithing of wealth and grain every twenty-one years when the sun returns.

As the Day of Light approaches, a young woman born without the touch of magic is thrust into a desperate conspiracy to break Azrithar’s stranglehold forever. While she navigates a game of high-stakes sorcery, a boy is plucked from the streets and thrown into the brutal, unending war against the rotborn.

In the shadows of the Spires, a power-hungry captain will stop at nothing to see the rotborn destroyed. But in a world built on ancient lies, some truths were never meant to see the light. If they rise, there will be nothing left to save.
