In the City of Light, cloaked angels were blamed for a wave of disappearances and banished to the woods.

But as a strange affliction turns the townspeople into ghosts, the Walker's precarious balance shatters when an ancestral spirit breaches the realm with an ominous warning—forcing him to confront a past he's been running from.
