Raised on the rusted piers of the Chemical Sea, Noland survives by scavenging, his magic barely enough to scrape by. Above him, the city carved into the mountainside remains distant- clean, orderly, and reserved for the powerful. Down below, the air burns, the water bubbles, and people disappear.
But when a scavenging expedition leads to the discovery of an alchemical relic, Noland and his makeshift family are thrust into a hidden truth far more dangerous than the Chemical Sea itself. Forced to question everything they’ve known, they must decide: survive in silence, or risk everything.
