A jaded exorcist finds herself stranded on an island in the company of fishermen and women, with no pull to her noble name and nothing but the clothes on her back. However, when she uncovers a sinister plot that would send the world of Elysial unto the brink of cataclysm, she undertakes a quest that pits her against the very place that forsook her. City in the Mountain's Shadow chronicles banishment and discovery, and the struggle of an outcast who must save her homeland from its inevitable fall into ruin.
