There is no night in the Everburning City. There can never be. ***** For four hundred years the Everburning City has withstood the advance of the life-strangling fog known as the Gloam. Its walls have held back five invasions, but on the eve of the sixth, the city's inhabitants know things have changed. Golems are coming out of the mist, and the bodies of the dead are rising at the Gloam's bidding. The city's last and most desperate line of defence comes in the form of the Crafters, individuals who can channel the power of fire, though they risk their sanity each time they do. The brightest of these valiant heroes are Tabitha a'Loria and her apprentice Gerald Reath. Risking their lives, they mount their airships, determined to save the last bastion of humanity - the Everburning City. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

A strange disease burns quietly in the city of Edra. Rumored to cause madness, it changes survivors in indescribable ways, and eats away at the edges of society. When a skeptical, but reluctant young physician arrives on the scene, he soon finds himself faced with impossible realities and a dangerous choice. Should he leave once more? Or is it his duty to investigate, and rescue Edra from a disaster of its own making? Note to readers: this book will contain mild language. Updates are slow, but I fully intend to finish this story.
