Description

Spearpoint, the last human city, is an imposing structure that pierces the atmosphere. Clinging to its surface are the zones, semi-autonomous city-states with varying levels of technology. Horsetown is pre-industrial, while Neon Heights boast modern amenities like television and electric trains. Quillon's life has been one of secrecy. Following a failed infiltration mission, he now works as a pathologist in the district morgue. However, his world is disrupted when a near-dead angel appears on his dissecting table. The angel is a posthuman from Spearpoint's Celestial Levels, and its presence brings grave news that could change Quillon's fate. The limitations of the zones are not determined by governments or authorities, but by the fundamental nature of reality itself. As reality becomes increasingly unstable, Quillon must embark on an exile that will take him beyond his wildest imagination to uncover the truth behind the angel's message and ensure his own survival.
