The world has fallen, and the survivors are left to claw a life from the ruins of everything they once knew.

Lettie never thought she would live to see the end of the world. All she ever wanted was to escape the fields of Antop and the life the Society chose for her, but when the ground crumbles beneath her feet and countless die around her as the landmass of Vale plummets to the surface, the end of the world is exactly where she finds herself. Lettie is not the only one scarred by the fall. Across the shattered remains of the Society, survivors discover a new world stripped of the oppressive order that once held them obedient.

As if the destruction of the world was not enough, the survivors of the fall find the surface of the planet to be an inhospitable place that can no longer support life. But the return to the surface has brought more than grief. The call for something greater stirs adventure in the hearts of the survivors as they take to the wastelands to carve out a slice of life on a desolate planet. Where there should be no life, life stirs. Where there was no magic, it now hums. But while hope blooms in the survivors, a new darkness stirs in the Society’s underbelly.

Will the survivors of the fall find a way to bring life back to their dead planet?

Bennet Smith has already died once. He has no interest in a repeat act.

Caught in the crossfire of an increasingly violent revolution, Ben’s first death doesn’t stick. His bones ache. His body still feels phantom pains. Wrongfully killed, he should return ready to fight alongside the revolutionaries striving for change. Instead, he wants no part of it.

Bennet Smith is no hero. He has never been a hero. He has never wanted to be a hero. All Ben has ever wanted is to keep his head down, fly under the radar, and pass completely unnoticed. Death didn’t change that.
