313 years after the Great Nuclear Revolution, the world has changed. Maps from the Old World no longer mattered, as they no longer depicted the land they now live in. Factions build vast armies to throw against each other in search of dominance over an insignificant piece of land, and between it all are the people trying to do good. Anthony B. Daniels is one of those people. Fighting for the United Vania Republic, one mission leaves him scarred and beaten, and suffering from amnesia. Waking up in the town of Edgefire, he soon starts to realize what had happened in the weeks he had been in a coma, and he travels the Scorched Lands in order to find if anything of his life is left, or if it has fallen to the Crimson Imperium.
All the earth is torn asunder.
There used to be grass, and the sun used to be golden. Children played outside, climbing trees with smiles on their faces and grass stains on their knees. People worried about a million things that would soon be irrelevant, continuing without a clue of the disaster to come.
Centuries later, what little is left of humanity survives in a society constructed beneath the surface of a glass dome, the world outside converted to little more than a desert wasteland. Survival is a routine rather than an effort, and all rules are surpassed by only one: if you want to survive, you never leave the dome. There's nothing alive out there. The radiation that soaks the earth makes sure of that.
Until one day, someone finds a bloody, dust-covered handprint on the outside of the glass.
Nothing will ever be the same again.
