Seattle has been submerged beneath the ocean for hundreds of years. The Pacific Northwest, like the rest of the world, is ravaged by climate change. The Trace – deadly pockets of dark energy – brought mutation, ruin, and chaos wherever they appeared. Civilization has devolved into factions and enclaves, fighting over resources and differing ideologies. By the time the Ring of Fire ignited, the world was already burning.
At the foot of erupting Mount Rainier, Ash Naranjo, born without arms, is taken by the Order of Life Science, who give him TechGyn prosthetic arms and other nano implants – changing him forever. Now one of the Order’s Ghosts, Ash fights for the United Enclaves, vowing to destroy the oppressive Freelanders who have taken his family and destroyed his homeland.
