It is about a nation that has been split in two by something called the fold. The fold is a stretch of sand going through the country. It may not seem dangerous but it is filled with monsters called the Volcra, which are winged beasts that love eating people. It doesn't help either that no light can pass through the fold so they must bring their own lamps through with them, which also attracts the Volcra.

But some of her closest allies start to seem a little crooked...
