The Palace of Mirrors fell five-hundred years ago. Now the former worlds of the empire have scattered apart. One such world is the moon known only as Six. Once it was a waystation, but without the Empire it has become a world of ruins--ravaged by a winter that grows fiercer with every season. A young man named Darien grew up on this world, a world where the stars were never seen beyond the cloying clouds. He sets off on a journey that turns into a quest and then into something much messier, something that forces him to confront all the stories he once held dear.
