The world is starting to notice. Geysers emit blue light. Fjords freeze in geometric patterns. Harbors breathe on a forty three minute cycle. The elemental system’s signal is bleeding through to the surface, and the surface world is watching with cameras and satellites and questions the team cannot answer. The Gathering begins. Seven convergence points. Seven teams. Fourteen minutes to restore a system that has been broken for three hundred years. Kai holds the center, channeling his father’s love through a crystal lattice while forty one practitioners across the planet give everything they have to a signal that will either heal the world or shatter it. The Void fights back. The cost takes more than anyone expected. And when the fourteen minutes end, the world is saved and the people who saved it are shattered, scattered, diminished, some of them beyond recognition. Kai wakes in the convergence chamber knowing two things: he loves someone, and he is supposed to hold something together. He does not remember his name.
