When we last left Mithgar back in September, at the end of the roller coaster ride through hell that is Nethereal, a goddess had been reborn and fire fell from the skies, scorching Mithgar and the rest of the known universe. Ending on this cliffhanger left us wondering what would happen next to the dying universe of the Soul Cycle.
Let's find out.
Twenty years after the old world ended in fire, Xander Sykes travels the deserts of a drastically changed Mithgar. His fascination with the world he never knew—along with his strange abilities—divides him from his clan. But otherworldly forces interrupt his exile.
Pursued by enemies from above and beneath the world, Xander bands together with an ambassador from hell, his heavenly bodyguard, and a reformed guildsman seeking to right his order’s wrongs.
The search for answers leads to a vast, decaying city haunted by a presence as tormented as it is deadly. Xander finds a survivor who may give purpose to his nameless longing—if he can help her escape the terror that stalks them both.
