Synopsis
In a city inspired by ancient Egypt, Gatherers are holy priests who collect the magic of dreams from the dying — and sometimes kill in the name of peace. When Gatherer Ehiru discovers corruption at the heart of his faith, he must choose between his devotion and the truth, even as war looms with a neighboring kingdom.
