You don't know the cost of your mistakes until it comes time to pay for them. Corruption runs through the city of Greymere, deeper and blacker than the waters of the Stillwake. Gangs and Crimelords rule over the Gutters, while the wealthy hoard their magic and their privilege far above on Glasshill. For the Gutterborn, becoming Stained is the surest path to a better life, but it is not without risk. Those touched by the Planes may ascend. They may rise in power and have their names echo in legend beside gods and heroes. Or they may be trapped in the games of greater powers, become tools for corrupt masters, or lose themselves entirely and become monstrous Hollows. Bracken is a merchant's son, born atop Glasshill, but he dreams of becoming something more. He will lie, steal, and cheat if that is what it takes to change his future and the future of his friends. Passage was born to be a preacher, to follow in the footsteps of his father at their temple in the Gutters. Though he strives to be a good man, there is a fury inside him that refuses to be ignored. When Stained criminals threaten Passage's father, Bracken, Passage, and their friends hatch a scheme in search of justice, of power, and a chance to change their lives.
