Born of Mist. Book 2. The Source of Ascension

After the death of the Almighty, the empire plunges into chaos: aristocrats are vying for power, and three of the most powerful lords bring armies of men and non-humans to the walls of the former capital.

Only now it sometimes appears during the day, taking the lives of those unfortunate enough to be under the open sky.

But where to search for it and what power lies within it?
