Raiders grow bolder, supplies are scarce, and the island’s non‑human inhabitants turn increasingly lethal. New arrivals create rifts, endangering the City’s delicate Search system and challenging everything Rives has known. Desperate for answers, he partners with Skye, a new arrival whose past is shrouded in mystery. Together they embark on a perilous quest to save all residents of Nil—and possibly prevent the island’s destruction—while grappling with the heavy cost of their choices.
