The Ninth Echo

In the Republic of Vedra, its capital, Mist City of Lynn, is known for its towering smokestacks, roaring differential engines, and unending fog. Yet beneath its splendor lurks a mysterious power from antiquity, known as the Whispers of the Abyss. Chen Wei is forced into a covert war that will determine the fate of the world. The official organization, the Iron Crown of Order, brands him a heretic. The mysterious society known as the Silent Ones pursues him relentlessly to protect what they call the balance, while the doomsday cult, the Kiss of Decay, seeks to use him to hasten the end of the world.
