About this audiobook

The world runs on a heartbeat it did not choose. For centuries, five kingdoms have drawn power from the Shards — fragments of an ancient crystal split by gods who called it balance and kept it as control. The Equalizers want to change that. When their leader is killed inside the Rings of the Heartstone by the man sworn to protect it, her cell is left with a grief, an impossible plan, and a letter pointing them toward a device that could remake the world entirely. If the wrong hand finds it first, there may not be a world left to remake. A story about the cost of changing broken things and whether the people trying to fix them can be trusted not to break something worse.
