Nolis is a young man serving as a mercenary for his father, robbing and terrorizing the neighborhoods of Kendara, a decaying city among a decaying planet. Years and years before his birth, his universe had started to decrepit visibly, losing lands as much as inhabitants. The laws had to change. Only the strongest can pretend to survive.

But when he encountered Kâl, a young woman living in the shadows, his traced path derived completely. Bound together by a tragedy, the main concern wasn't robbing and terrorizing anymore; they had to escape.

Condemned on so many levels, Nolis will only remember his father's words until the very end: "Don't show your back to anyone." Little did he know, he had the answers to all of his questions over his shoulders, unattainable and out of his sight.
