In the sun-scorched city of Xialan, where emotions are as tangible as the golden sands, Rynel Ithar is a psychic mapmaker, a man who charts the invisible currents of joy, sorrow, and rage that pulse through the city’s veins. His maps are masterpieces of empathy and precision, tools for the Empathic Council to maintain control over the desert realm. But Rynel feels a growing unease—a sense that his maps are incomplete, missing something vital buried beneath the sands of time.
When Lira, a fugitive healer with a haunted past, arrives in Xialan, pursued by the Council’s relentless agents, Rynel’s world is irrevocably altered. Lira is a storm of raw, untamed energy, her healing abilities both a gift and a curse. Desperate and distrustful, she seeks refuge, and Rynel, intrigued by her defiance and the secrets she guards, agrees to hide her—on one condition.
Together, they embark on a perilous journey to map a newly discovered ruin on the outskirts of Xialan, a place whispered to hold the fossilized emotions of an ancient civilization. What they uncover is beyond anything they could have imagined. The ruins are a labyrinth of memory and emotion, saturated with the grief, rage, and love of a people long forgotten. These emotions are not mere echoes; they are potent, alive, and capable of reshaping the present.
As Rynel and Lira delve deeper, they begin to piece together the story of a utopia that once thrived on empathy but was destroyed when that empathy turned to apathy. Their discovery draws the attention of the Empathic Council, whose true intentions are far more sinister than Rynel ever suspected. The Council seeks to extract and weaponize the fossilized emotions, using them to control the populace and cement their power.
Faced with the choice of complicity or rebellion, Rynel and Lira must forge an uneasy alliance, their fates intertwined as they navigate the treacherous emotional currents of the ruins.
