Ren was a weapon forged in fire, a ghost of the brutal Kyousei Clan, seeking vengeance against the tyrannical Regime. His solitary path ends in capture, forcing him into a desperate alliance with a gambler, a shipwright, and a sniper.
His path of calculated revenge is violently derailed when a chaotic, high-stakes rebellion strands him with a desperate crew of outcasts and burdens him with a chilling inheritance: the raw, uncontrolled power of a dead tyrant.
Now the most wanted fugitive on the Broken Seas, Ren and his crew sail on the brigantine, The Ash-Born, chasing whispers of ancient, world-altering artifacts. Their quest: to find the scattered Lenses of Truth that can expose the greatest deception in human history.
Their search leads them to Lord Reth, a serene philosopher-king who has built a perfect civilization around his absolute mastery of time. For against a King who controls the time, the only way to challenge perfect order is with a chaotic power that threatens to crush them all.
