BY SEEKING TO PRESERVE THE PAST, NO ONE SAW WHAT HAD ARRIVED TO GREET THE WORLD IN THE PRESENT…

The day the twelve skyward cities rose was heralded by some as the darkest time in human history. While it showed how far humanity had come it also sent a clear message of the world many wanted to leave behind. For Ezra Kane, there is only black or white as far as history is concerned. As the Chronicler of Hereford, his purpose is to preserve as much of the past as his resources will allow. But when the city begins shifting into the familiar unrest that plagued the surface below, the path to peace becomes buried in a void of grey. Sometimes the answers we seek lie between the lines, and no matter what we do history is destined to repeat itself.
