Ronaldo, Manuel, and Bella find themselves assigned a quest to save a world where hope was the first casualty. It will be a fight with endless evil against a background of devastation. Interpersonal rivalry and the diverse worlds of their birth add an unwelcome complexity to their quest that no one could have anticipated. Ronaldo, born to a feudal world, has never met anyone like the tech-worlder Bella. Manuel, born to a parochial world, finds himself conflicted and disturbed by his companions, and challenged by the punishing decay he sees in every aspect of this doomed world. Bella must quickly learn more of her friends and their amazing abilities. While fending off hordes of unimaginable creatures. Or all three of them will surely die, alongside young Sir Brendini.

Second novel of the SmallPowers saga.
