After a harrowing flight from a final assault by the Bladesmen hordes, Kenton and the last remaining humans find themselves refugees in a new world. Despite their successful escape and incredible technological advances, the existing inhabitants of this foreign place aren't willing to let the human City have the peace they crave. Caught between untrusted allies and overpowering foes, Councilor Kenton finds himself forced to choose between his people and his wife as the last humans fight for their right to survive.

Driven to extreme measures, Kenton and his children must challenge the one untouchable power that even Bladesmen Lords fear to cross - the peerless might of the City of the Lords.
