A found family caught in a dying world. Unwanted powers and thirsts. Assassins of the mind and body, on the prowl.

Twice a century, the world of Duranaya grows new surfaces from the top of its mountain, casting old ones into darkness and forcing a constant upward migration its peoples. But there are those who live in the pitch-black Undersurface ... and they march to conquer the sunlit world, commandeering the magic that once contained them.

In the midst of the invasion, Whissen, a monk afflicted with a mind divided by magic, crosses paths with Reph, a huntress with a criminal past. They have little in common, but they do share a predator. One who has rediscovered their scents, and knows their hidden, guilty weaknesses.

The invasion pauses for no one. Reph's aging father is trapped in a hopeless siege, and time is short. Together, Whissen and Reph must cross enemy territory before Reph's father is lost, chased by a killer who plays with her food. Can they turn their weaknesses into strengths before their pursuer does it for them?

Enter the world of Duranaya, where the world grows layers and casts the past into darkness.
