When fate throws her into the path of a runaway thief, a holy knight, a charismatic con man and a sorcerer with secrets of his own, Astra finds herself caught in a hunt for something ancient, powerful... and possibly world-ending.

Together, they journey across a world on the brink, drawn deeper into the gemstone's mystery and the darkness waking beneath it.
