On a World surrounded by storms, peace hangs in the balance. Zilia, a bounty hunter, finds herself bereft of her greatest ally as peace negotiations are sabotaged. With few resources, she must discover who was behind the assassination and stop the guild war from tearing the Lower City apart, but will the Upper City allow her to organize a resistance? She has caught the attention of a Luitenant of the Special Division Police, hunted and surrounded by enemies. Will she have to accept help from the gangs who rule through terror or bow before the might of the Public Police? Can she survive those hungry for her blood, or will she have to make an unlikely alliance?
