On the island of Dromo, faith is law.
The Valval Priesthood rules not through armies, but through a power that seeps into every breath, every thought: a power called the Light. To doubt it is to vanish.

Aros, a former revolutionary, knows this better than anyone. When he finds a young girl named Gemma, a child who can hear the same divine frequency that the Priesthood wields, he realizes she may be the key to understanding the true nature of their godlike power. But Gemma is no savior. Her gift burns her from within, and the Light seems to whisper her name.

As they flee through the shadowed alleys of Dromo and into the arms of the rebel order known as the Knights of Light, Aros must confront what he once believed unshakable: that resistance can exist without faith, and that power disguised as holiness can corrupt even those who fight it.
