A spark flares in the city choked by night! Ablisio is desperate to keep his little sister alive in the horror that has befallen the once-great city of Hamiocho. Seven years ago, an eternal night crashed down on the city. The Darkfall. A barrier of black that cuts off the denizens from the outside. A city where the sun never shines.
Trapped in a world of darkness, the survivors struggle to survive. Civilization has collapsed. In the black, desperate men have become beasts. Savages prowl in the dark, living off the scraps of the wealthy hiding in their enclave. Ablisio, his sister Amiollea, and his lover Zhee battle day after day to survive without losing their humanity. Every day, despair wears them down.
But a spark flares in the city. A beacon of light conjured at noon by the strange runic mages inspires Amiollea. The rune carvers' arcane knowledge is the only reason the city has survived seven years. When Amiollea saves a young mage's life, she realizes this is the chance her family needs.
Can she convince her brother to take the chance? Or does Ablisio still see her as that scared, little girl he protected when the madness engulfed the city?
