In the land of Farain, cities float hundreds of feet above the ground and ships sail the winds high in the sky with the aid of powerful crystals. At first glance, Farain is a country of peace and prosperity. Behind the scenes, its lowliest citizens toil to mine the crystals that keep the country running, and discontent is spreading among the people like a sickness.
Hayden Marsh's father is a very powerful man, as he controls the crystal distribution lines. He has seemed a bit on edge of late, with a journey to the capital Sky City of Zyrin next on his agenda. This time, Hayden is excited to accompany his father and get a glimpse of the greatest city ever built.
However, other forces are at play. Their ship is attacked by pirates over wild jungles. The only survivors: Hayden, a rich merchant's nephew named Jacob, and a mysterious stowaway named Myra. They will soon be plunged into a dangerous world of pirates and rebels, a world that they never even knew existed. When they are found by an explorer on a mission from the King itself, they begin to realize that everything is more connected then they thought, and that terrible things are in motion.
And suddenly, everyone is a little too interested in Hayden.

The mountains, grass, and water-that is all there is in the vast world... except at the Wellsprings. Mankind clings to life around these miraculous, shifting sites-places where stone and precious metals erupt from the earth, where beasts and blessings pour forth in equal measure. Beneath them lie dungeons and mines, twisted labyrinths crawling with monsters and ancient relics. But when the Wellsprings recede, they leave behind the Blight, and all their gifts begin to rot. Magic turns sour. Beauty becomes horror. And still, mankind endures-bound to the lands of Lyvaris, kept alive by the Wellsprings... and imprisoned by them. Auren is a hunter with no tribe, no loyalty, and a reputation for failure. When he accepts a contract to retrieve the mythical Heartscale-a relic no one has ever claimed-he finds himself entangled in a struggle older than the cities themselves. The Heartscale is not a cure. It's a key. It unlocks the truth behind the Wellsprings, and the Church will kill to keep it buried. Armed with a soul-bound knife and haunted by the corpse he left behind, Auren must decide whether to flee the coming storm... or break the chains that hold his world together
