Echoes of the Desert

Synopsis

Under two suns

After the events that shook Veridion, Elara wakes up alone in an unknown world, under two suns.

Wounded, disoriented and grieving for David, she carries the disc, now more alive and more dangerous. Zarath-Kai is a desert of ruins, visions and echoes of the past and the future, where nomadic tribes resist the influence of the Veil.

To survive, Elara relies on Liora, who seeks redemption, on Mael, a wanderer who speaks through dreams, and on Solara, a resistance warrior who keeps a secret.

Reincarnations intertwine and the first answers about the Veil emerge. Now she must face the Sentinels, the guilt and everything left unsaid.
