Now that she is faced with the weight of rebuilding the world, Cass is blindsided by the choices of people she's never met. A Council she's never heard of demands she deliver the Emperor's head to an enemy general across the vast desert nation of Desheret. With her is a wide array of travelers from every nation, including old friends and old enemies.
Cass must learn how to solve problems without her strength, violence, or her army, and navigate a world that doesn't yet know the Emperor is dead.

Sea of Rust
A forgotten god. A marked girl. A fallen world. In the Ninth World - where time has eroded empires into myth and broken machines masquerade as miracles - Cassandra dares to break a sacred law. All her life, she has been haunted by prophetic dreams: fractured visions she only understood when it was too late. But one dream is sharp, urgent, and impossible to ignore. It calls her to the Sea of Rust - a cursed expanse where metal decays, and memory itself corrodes - to enter means exile...or death. There, buried among the bones of titanic war-machines and dead cities, Cassandra uncovers a fragment of something long forgotten... something that remembers being a god. Now marked by the fragment, Cassandra is on the run. Hunted by the fanatical Iron Order, and haunted by visions, Cassandra must seek refuge in Rusthaven. But within its walls waits the Rumi: a clandestine guild of relic-hunters led by the enigmatic Azra. Their knowledge may be her salvation - or her undoing. The past is alive in the Ninth World. It whispers in data-ghosts, bleeds through rust....and dreams of rebirth. ****Set in the RPG world of Numenera****
