The Dwellers, creatures of Chaos in the hidden depths of the universe, awaken hungry to devour life. They float between the stars towards the planet of Ahmbren.
Three women pursue disparate paths to salvation. The lich Seredith seeks to unite the four elements into unified Order to shield the world from the Dwellers. She will save the planet, even if the living who stand in her way must die. The spirit of Athra, once the Goddess of Civilization, haunts a clockwork body. A thin echo of her former self, all she contemplates is industry, yearning to forge mortalkind into a perfect machine of Order the Dwellers will pass by. The elf Meara, thought to be the incarnation of the Consoler God, works miracles beyond even magical explanation, and her friends and family start to wonder if her divine spirit is a sliver of Chaos, luring the Dwellers towards their planet.
Meanwhile, Naiadne, the paladin of Light and Dark, learns the world-soul of Ahmbren itself holds the secret of salvation. To discover this hidden hope, she journeys to the fabled Garden in the very center of the world, from whence all life emerged.
