After the great calamity known as the Collapse turned the world into a desolate wasteland, humanity became a savage and barbaric race that focused only on the survival of the fittest.
The once-great innovators who created many advanced technologies now become less than the tribal communities, nomadic scavengers, or ruthless raiders and slavers. Pre-Collapse technologies became taboo, and those who understood the Old Ones, collectively known as the Knowers, became outcasts.
This is the story of two girls, the scavenger Snow and the Knower Rain, who seek the mythical place known as the Archive and set off across a brutal and unforgiving world, facing many perils and adventuring through the once-civilized land.
