5075. The New Dawn has risen.

Civilization has rebuilt itself under a single religion devoted to Roh, where innovation of any kind is controlled by the Church. Only the Sacred Technologies—blueprints Roh bestows upon His children at the beginning of each season—are permitted. Anything created outside of the Church’s decree is condemned as heresy, and those found guilty of such ideas as apostates.

A year has passed since the execution of her father, and now Willow Dinn struggles to define her identity in the shadow of Midbell’s most infamous freethinker and founder of the city’s underground resistance. While grappling with her own sacrilegious impulses, she is forced to decide for herself whether his actions were crimes or blessings.

After stumbling upon Midbell’s darkest secret, her fate becomes irreversibly entwined with two others—allies or adversaries she cannot be sure:

Annika, a synthetic human reprogrammed by Willow’s father whose memories from her past life unexpectedly start to blur the two versions of herself.

Samuel, the knight at the center of Roh’s divine prophecy whose faith is challenged by a tribe of pagan necromancers.

As the threads that hold the Church’s lies together begin to unravel, Willow discovers the endless potential of a mind allowed to wonder.

But in the light of the New Dawn, there is only one Creator, and it is He.
