The end of the world has arrived. <<<>>> Sage Evernight wakes up one morning and her entire world is gone. In it's place is a ruined, abandoned planet, endless deadly forests, mystical palaces that many enter but none leave, and angels and demons alike lurking. She views the world through the lens of a shattered blue sky with the help of a kind but rough woman who goes by Jeniviv and a dangerously unpredictable boy, Kazmir, who seem to have lived this way their entire lives. Waiting for the next threat to come and try to kill them, ready to take it down. <<<>>> The one exception is the threat of the ticking clock. The threat that nobody seems to be able to understand, much less prevent. The threat that just may end them all.
