From the ashes of Sunshine Valley, Juanita is taken to Rat Town, rescued by its knights, shadowed by its B’nogurt allies, and claimed by the city’s all-powerful cult. Her silver hair and crimson eyes mark her as something uncanny, perhaps even Minal’jurz, those touched by Rat Town’s dark god, Bernard. Yet she remembers nothing, save the river that carried her into life. As she searches for answers, she uncovers a city on the brink of divide. Leon XVI, the Avatar of Bernard, demands her obedience. Rutherford and his Ruffians whisper she is the spark of change. Between cult and rebellion, faith and doubt, Juanita becomes the living symbol of a schism that threatens to tear Rat Town apart. Her past is a mystery. Her presence is a danger. Her future may set the world ablaze.
