They believe there is something more beyond the endless desert . . . but what?It is only when a stranger arrives from out of the wastes that things begin to change. Frail and amnesiac he holds the key to a new beginning for Echo Cityor perhaps to its end for he is not the only new arrival. From the depths beneath Echo City something ancient and deadly is rising. Now Peer Gorham Nophel and Nadielle must test the limits of love and loyalty courage and compassion as they struggle to save a city collapsing under the weight of its own history.
