More than a millennium has passed since a volcanic winter nearly decimated the non-native people mining on Kaeos; a strange planet full of rare metals and dangerous environments. The how and why help never came are still a mystery. Left to their own devices, the remaining population learned to live without the technology lost in the devastation. Over time, the history of their origins was misplaced by hardship and a basic need to survive. Out of the ashes arose new cultures blended with remnants of the old, struggles born of distrust, suffering and greed. When the small-scale underground escape system takes in a high-value Healer, she not only comes with a price on her head, but a host of secrets and mysteries that turns the world they know upside. Follow Grey as he and his collected family face those secrets, their own pasts, rediscover a broken history and forge a future for not only themselves, but for those who have forgotten they still exist.
