In the crumbling megacity of Lastion, where elemental beings known as Tempests live under the rule of a digital tyrant, the immortal rebel Tully Evenstar awakens in the aftermath of disaster. Haunted by the loss of her sister and fractured memories of a mysterious machine, Tully navigates a decaying society held together by surveillance, silence, and the drug known as Sapp. But something is breaking—within her, and within the world.

As whispers of rebellion stir in the undercity, and elemental powers once thought extinct begin to return, Tully must face the past she buried. Chapter One introduces the world of Evenstar—a science fantasy epic of grief, memory, and resistance. Set in a dystopian realm of steampunk tech and mythic energy, this opening chapter lays the foundation for an unforgettable journey across the dying planet of Tress.
