Beneath the unfinished sky of Aruun, reality still leaks, saints go mad, and mana storms rewrite the frontier. Cithrel Vaen wanted only to pass quietly through Ironroot Yard. Unfortunately, quiet rarely survives contact with a cursed train, a stolen relic, and an Astral horror wearing the shape of a conductor. Alongside Seraphine Vale, a storm-bladed runaway searching for freedom, and Kael Ardyn, a rail-town warden sworn to leave no one behind, Cithrel is pulled into a conspiracy reaching far beyond one shattered journey. Something impossible is moving through the world: a future king not yet born, gathering servants, laws, and miracles before his crown exists. To survive, three unfinished souls must decide what is worth protecting in a world that powerful hands intend to complete.
