Riamise is a city devastated by drought, crime and giant reptiles. Jona and Kala uncover the secret behind the lack of water and change the fate of Riamise forever.
Only the reptiles have found a way to adapt and survive, but humans have not found a way to coexist without risks.
The population struggles to survive; they have never seen water and subsist on jelly-like food, but only one kind truly quenches their thirst.
Only the priest knows the sacred ritual to produce it, but he demands a difficult price: the blue crystals.
The blue crystals are Riamise’s currency, and all life depends on them. Somehow, the police have always maintained a certain balance. At least until today. Because today, that balance has been broken.
As tensions between the factions escalate into war, Jona and Kala come together and uncover the truth behind the blue crystals and the city’s water shortage, changing the fate of Riamise forever.
