When the once-whole numen9 shattered, the oceans rose up to the sky and enveloped the world. The nine continents became separate floating land masses warmed by the now-exposed molten core of the world–“the inner sun.” Intense radiation from the inner sun has bleached the edges of these planetoids where the coastline used to lay, creating radioactive wastelands ravaged by surge storms and filled with crystal monsters called bleachettes.

Rin D’Lorah ventures out into these hostile lands filled with dangerous storms in search of her father, a scientist who she hopes may have found the answer to solving the hunger crisis and bringing peace to numen9 before he mysteriously disappeared. But she can’t ignore the signs along the way that Rin herself may have an even bigger role to play in restoring the world to balance.
