Description
On the third day of the third month, the Empire fell—and the world lost its light.
Sixteen years later, the remnants of that Empire are buried in myth, rust, and silence. The old machines no longer walk. The runes no longer glow. And the bloodlines that once commanded them have vanished into smoke and dust.
In the frontier town of Humvalt, a young hunter namedCesarlives a quiet life above the Cloud Sea—until a spark of ancient power awakens at his touch, and with it, the last war begins again.
Hunted by the Dominion, pursued by enemies who remember the Empire better than he does, and protected only by a quiet uncle with too many secrets, Cesar must face a world that remembers what his blood means… even if he doesn’t.
From mountain trails to burning villages, from Paladins burning with holy fire to machines lost beneath the clouds—this is the story of a boy, a fallen empire, and the rise of something new.
The Flame endures.
