When the ancient lanterns of Virelle go dark, the city begins to unravel. For paramedic Mara Vale, a night-shift call turns into a descent through the forgotten layers of her city, a world of sentient lights, living shadows, and memories that refuse to die. Guided by a cryptic figure known as the Gatewarden and armed with a key that hums with its own pulse, Mara discovers a hidden covenant binding the city’s light to its people’s hearts.
As the shadows grow bolder and the line between reflection and reality dissolves, Mara must confront the darkness within herself to rekindle the flame that sustains Virelle.
