Confronted with the horrifying realization that their mastermage is on death row, a group of Defenders embark on a deadly journey to save him. Labelled as the 'Traitors of the State' and with a bounty on their heads, they must stand against an unworthy ruler and the very citizens they are trying to protect. All while guarding a map of gateways between worlds and their Key.

On this fantastical journey, one of the Defenders, Farhaan, is on a path to lock himself in an unknown world—destined by fate but against his will.

All plot must align.
