Almost a century of peace, the development of technology, the city of Astaria is a fusion of magic and science. Something dark stirs, the world has become too trusting in times of peace and an artifact that should never have seen the light of day is put on display. Follow Ashia, a half-elf thief as she navigates the city, a world where magic is a science and follows the laws of energy conservation and a world where the gods have their own family dramas. Will she cause catastrophe or become the unlikely hero in the chain of events about to begin?
