Across the frozen wasteland of the earth, the expansionist and totalitarian Servants of Reckoning, led by the enigmatic demagogue Torch, do battle with what they believe to be the one immortal Primus that has thus far escaped judgment. Under their noses, however, a small group of Primoi and humans, set adrift months ago by the Servants' campaign of extermination, travel ever further north in search of a long-hidden artifact capable of bringing back all the billions of humans lost to the end of the world.Mark, Quet, Horan and Waia must brave radiation-riddled city ruins, armies of Servants, colossal monsters and unending snow if they are to reach the one thing capable of changing the fate of what remains of the world. On their journey, old enemies return as fleeting allies, inevitable conclusions are reached, and the deepest secrets of the world's ancient history are brought to light. These four exiles, together for less than a year, stand as the only people capable of stopping the world's end from reaching its silent, frozen climax. (This work is the fourth part in a series, you can find the previous installment here, or the first installment here.)
