The only thing they have going for them is that the crime lords are fighting each other as well-that is, until the tyrants agree to a summit that will permanently divide the city and cement their rule of Audec-Hal.

It was one of these storms that gave First Sentinel, leader of the revolutionaries known as the Shields of Audec-Hal, power to control the emotional connections between people-a power that cost him the love of his life. Their infighting is nothing, though, compared to the mysterious "Spark-storms" that alternate between razing the land and bestowing the citizens with wild, unpredictable abilities.
