Wrack awakes in a shallow, mossy grave with no memory of how he got there or who he is. Shards of his former life return in brief flashes of color, as Wrack traverses a bleak world, where seemingly immortal creatures with godlike power-the Doomed-wage war on each other and the living alike. A power awakens within him, and with it, a dark hunger.
Wrack and his unexpected companions-the beautiful warrior Brin and clever Avar-each seek something different: answers, vengeance, stories. Their disparate goals are more entwined than they ever imagined, and the three soon find their fates may be inextricably bound through prophecy.
