One thousand years beyond the fall of Earth... What is old, is new. What is life, grants death. What is lost, may be found. Behold the A city carved from the slag of worlds, heaving beneath its own weight and decrepitude, home to the many sins and rare virtues of humanity. Among them, a street urchin pockets the secrets of a dead man, a team of salvagers hunts a treasure from across the ages, and a young woman seeks to combat and contain the outbreak of a deadly disease, while politics and organised crime collide around her. In time, their paths shall converge, and lead them out into the fire; across the seething waves of the Burning Sea, past pirate and storm, and far away to the Rim, to the edge of all charts... and beyond.
