Cael McAvoy is on the run.
He's heading toward the Empyrean to rescue his sister, Merelda, and to
find Gwennie before she's lost to Cael forever. With his pals, Lane and
Rigo, Cael journeys across the Heartland to catch a ride into the sky.
But with Boyland and others after them, Cael and his friends won't make
it through unchanged.
Gwennie's living the life of a Lottery winner, but it's not what she
expected. Separated from her family, Gwennie makes a bold move--one that
catches the attention of the Empyrean and changes the course of an
Empyrean man's life.
The crew from Boxelder aren't the only folks willing to sacrifice
everything to see the Empyrean fall. The question is: Can the others be
trusted?
They'd all better hurry. Because the Empyrean has plans that could
ensure that the Heartland never fights back again.
Chuck Wendig's riveting sequel to Under the Empyrean Sky plunges
readers into an unsettling world of inequality and destruction, and
fleshes out a cast of ragtag characters all fighting for survival and,
ultimately, change.
