Blood will water the corn....
It's been a year since the Saranyu flotilla fell from the sky, and life
in the Heartland has changed. Gone are the Obligations and the Harvest
Home festivals. In their place is a spate of dead towns, the former
inhabitants forced into mechanical bodies to serve the Empyrean--and
crush the Heartland.
When Cael awakens from a Blightborn sleep, miles away from the world he
remembers, he sets out across the Heartland to gather his friends for
one last mission. As the mechanicals, a war flotilla, and a pack of
feral Empyrean girls begin to close in on the Heartland, there isn't
much time to make their next move. But if they can uncover a secret
weapon in time, Cael and his friends might just find themselves with the
power to save the world--or destroy it--resting in their hands.
