The Eclipse

The Chakkall is gone. For more than a decade, the ancient protector of Emlor has been missing, and the world has begun to wither in his absence. Magic is fading. Trade is failing. Old powers are weakening. And somewhere beyond the borders of civilization, something dark is beginning to rise. Beneath the great city of Stormshield, Lyra knows little of any of this. Her world is smaller: crowded markets, forgotten tunnels, stolen meals, and the simple necessity of surviving another day. But the Eclipse is approaching. Once each year, the moon crosses the sun and the heavens come alive with power. This year, as Stormshield prepares to celebrate, the cracks spreading across Emlor are beginning to show. And Lyra is about to discover that some lives are changed by history, and others are caught directly in its path.
