Long ago, Ritakhou was a flourishing empire filled with light, life, and magic. Then came the Schism.
Now the kingdom, renamed Rimbaku, is a pale shadow of its former self, a land stripped of its glory and its power. The only magic left comes from aitachi, the Relicant Touch—the ability to absorb skills and memories by consuming aishone, the bones of the dead.
Rimbaku’s enemies are circling, testing the nation’s borders. They know the empire is weak and are determined to push it over the edge, then strip its bones as it has done to its own dead for so long.
Meanwhile, two brothers set out from their small village with a handful of aishone and a great deal of hope. A young emperor struggles for ways to restore his ailing kingdom. A daring thief prowls the night. A warrior fights for respect and honor. A commander battles against corruption and intrigue. And a cunning killer plots deceit and murder. As these lives intersect, their actions will change the Relicant Empire forever.
