Uriz’s plan is simple: when he arrives at the location the judges send him to, he finishes his punishment. That’s it. Everything else isn't his concern.
When he and Evie join with Hamill, a fellow fire elemental also carrying out his own sentence, it becomes apparent that the people in the city are being used for sinister purposes. Shades of dead air elementals wander through the halls of buildings, intent on killing those they come across.
It soon becomes evident that unless he wants to continue repeating his punishment, he’ll need to help everyone. The first step is destroying the tower before it cracks the Ibix Code.
