Erydis Nott, a brilliant but rebellious young dust mixer, lives in the towering fortress of Dust City-a place fueled by dust and divided by ancient secrets. On the eve of the Five Festivals of the Dust, Erydis begins experiencing vivid dreams of a strange realm filled with ghostly shadows and a black tree with an ominous clock. As the clock’s hand ticks forward, Erydis feels the pull of something far more sinister than any festival competition.

But these are no ordinary dreams. In this strange realm, Erydis meets Rapach, a mysterious messenger from the elusive Jerboa Clan, who hails from a land corrupted by miasma and haunted by the Silent People. With Erydis harnessing the power of dust and Rapach tasked with retrieving an important package, their destinies become entwined as they embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind their worlds.
