For a thousand years, the new gods of mankind have protected the remnants of humanity. Reduced to a handful of survivors after a devastating alien invasion, a desperate human race accepted these gods as defenders against the terrors of a hostile universe. These mighty deities opened hidden pathways through space to remote outposts where human civilization could be rebuilt. The greatest of these redoubts is The City, a domed jewel on a small moon that circles a stormy gas giant planet. The god Tower is its protector. But when The City is assaulted by a power rivaling even that of the guardian god, the burden of protecting mankind's future will fall to others. And what can mere men and women do against forces that can reshape and manipulate the universe itself? Talia is a Radiant Acolyte in the temple of the gods. She knows the secrets and history of mankind's protectors better than anyone. Mik the Fixer is a skilled technician who can see through the dazzling magic that powers The City to the truth that lies beneath it. Upon these two will fall the burden of protecting mankind's future. But the cost may be the very things that make them human.
