“I’ll wait for you.”
“You’ll have to wait a lifetime—”
“I’d wait two.”

Emberlith (Ember) Huang is given no time to grieve when one of her childhood friends is suddenly killed. Still shaken by tragedy, she finds herself swept up in a violently spreading fire, a turbulent natural disaster. But what if… it isn't so natural?

Ember’s construct of reality shatters in an instant, taking everything she believed with it. The simple world she enjoyed was merely a mask, concealing a traumatic past of war, loss, and entanglement. Her normal college life is flipped upside down as she runs for her life and fights for survival.

Forced to learn things about her hidden past and the truths of the system she lives in, Ember finds herself intertwined in a journey that offers no path of return. She could have never imagined that everything she knew about herself and her family was shrouded in secrets. She could have never known how much her life would change, and how much responsibility would fall upon her.

Will Ember succeed in bringing harmony back to her country? And at what cost?
