This clockwork world of iron and brass is running down as the planet creaks away into the silent darkness of starless space. Acid and ash rain from the sky, the ground rusts, society deteriorates and life decays. The endless night is ruled by creatures that have crept forth from the labyrinthine underground catacombs, creatures that feed on mutant humans who carry the sun spark within them.
Now, a young girl named Embra escapes her underground prison and flees across the crumbling world, bent upon a holy quest to reignite the darkened sun, returning daylight to the world and regenerating life.
Her quest will reveal the long-forgotten true nature of her world, and lead her and her species to a fateful encounter with the god of this dark universe.
Flames of the Sun is dark fantasy for fans of Jay Lake and K.W. Jeter
