In a mythical realm at the 'heart of the world' - where wicked Rat Lords have reduced all humankind to slaves, and god-daemons make the decision to end all existence - a compelling quest for survival prompts the powerful White Crow to order an uprising. Among the revolutionaries are Lucas of Candover, no man's slave, and Zari, who is destined to become the living Memory of all that follow.
As they rally together, in one final desperate show of rebellion, they hope to create a magic powerful enough to reshape the very nature of how they live
