Cencordia is a graveyard of empires. Its cities stand as hollow monuments of concrete and rebar, its people scarred by chains and betrayal. Beneath its silence lurk unseen dangers, desperate figures and hidden eyes watching from the shadows of the ruins. Into this broken land marches Emperor Linairicus, his stone hands lit by strange lunar fire, proclaiming himself the savior who will end all suffering. To Daisy Baker, a young engineer from Alacelia, the expedition is a chance to escape the shanty she called home and prove herself, but more than that, it is a chance to belong. As Daisy walks streets painted with despair, searching not for glory but for kinship: a hand to hold in the dark. Among masked leaders and wary survivors, she finds fleeting sparks of friendship, even as whispers warn her that salvation and ruin may wear the same mask. Will Daisy's fragile hope endure and lead her to others who share her light... or will she be swallowed by the darkness of Cencordia?
