Between two worlds they are scattered, divided by severed silver paths. On Earth, Kav and Heru-Het struggle as the great ship Promise nears completion, but the work drags on, weighed down by shortages and dissent from hopeless followers who cry out to the darkened gates each night. Trapped on Nis, Alexis and Vahrael must navigate the twilight halls of the Nilegi, evading intrigue at every turn only to get further ensnared in webs so vast as to be invisible. The more they fight the deeper they fall. Both sides struggle to bring hope to the future and dream that soon... Promise Will Rise.
