Mother Earth has finally taken control of her own fate, sinking and devouring life over four centuries. But on Lwo, the last habitable land, humanity endures. Vision and progress have led to prolonged lifetimes, continued technological advancements, and hope for the future, despite a powerful and unrelenting storm. From its founding, Lwo's watchers have protected the land and its populace. Carefully chosen, and equipped with craft and technology to not only survive the storm, but safely traverse it, watchers in every division face death daily. But they are caught off guard by an unexpected arrival from the outside. With a new and unforeseen burden to bear, the watchers must rely on generations of training, and at the same time, reconsider things they have always known, even as the land reveals one more threat, one that could finally end mankind's tenuous existence.
