In a futuristic Australia, light is rationed by the rich, disability is used for control, religion is a weapon, and a female-identifying AI is creating folklore to stir the cave-dwelling underclasses into rebellion.
What would you do to escape the dark?
Following the Light War, Aggy is working hard to restore peace to Australis. Only, the climate is failing, a dragon-riding android is trying to kill her, and enemies are working to bring back the dark old days. Can Aggy unite the disparate races once again? If only she had more letters from the Light to guide her. Perhaps help is closer than she thinks.
What if the Light won’t solve your problems, anymore?

When the city embarks on a dangerous step which will change mankind forever, Macie’s job becomes obsolete and there is no room for those who don’t fit in.
