Over the span of nearly one hundred years three stories are recounted in the city of Achart, the capital of the Centerlands ruled by House Gotharus. This anthology shines light on a tiny corner of The Paramount, the world of the upcoming Dark Revolution Trilogy. In this anthology beggars resist slumlords, slumlords kill kings, and the oppressed population revolts against the brutal rule of House Gotharus and the suffocating doctrines of Church of The Whole.
