Will you fight for your present even if your future looks bleak?
Archaea’s golden age has spanned a world shattering to pieces.
Great polities have fallen, proud, independent people have been ruined and subjugated, environments have become alien to humanity, and an enormous war has led to suffering still spreading twenty years later. Under the sneering eyes of the Vitalian elves, a global disorder has prevailed over Aer.
The people of Novograd live holding their breath, awaiting the next crisis. Their bodies and minds subjected to an invisible violence of living. A violence that is poised to manifest. Within the enduring remnants of a broken nation; amid a suffering people struggling for joy in the darkness; between competing Empires in the Golden Age of Conspiracy. The City of the Future twists in the storm.
Amid the struggling masses, Detective Mona Alexandri searches for any trace of her teacher. She helps those she can; solves the possible and impossible. Trying to keep her pride and her conscience intact while she keeps the rent money flowing. Only in Novograd can she find what she seeks. Only through struggle can she tear the future from the hands of those who currently define it– and those who seek to corrupt it.
