The Sun is his enemy.
For thirty years the island of Empyrea, the only known place in the world with living humans, has been nothing but an apocalyptic wasteland after the Sun turned red. Now no one can step out into the light, or else they become molten corpses called Pyrtoma who wander around the desert dunes and search for radiant warmth in the blood of humans.
Lars Larthu, a 26-year-old human born into this accursed world is forced to survive in Empyrea with the only family he knows which is his little sister Titia who he has sworn to protect above anything else. With little resources around him to survive, Lars will make alliances, cause betrayals, and stain his hands with blood to make sure that he and his sister survive. How far will Lars go to keep himself alive, or will he be corrupted enough to take the power of the Pyrtoma for himself and become the king of Empyrea?
The Sun will decide.
