Ash saved New Anglia from his father's destruction, but victory brought new torments. Black orbs fill his nightmares. His dead mother's screams pierce his sleep. He believes she warns him of coming danger and seeks ways to reach her spirit, though even his formidable alchemical powers cannot easily bridge death. Anti-alchemist hatred spreads through New Anglia's streets. Radical alchemists inspired by his father's vision capture Ash. Now he faces an impossible choice. He can trust the traditional Houses to protect alchemist rights alongside his partners Callum and Ramsay. Or he can embrace his father's legacy and lead an alchemist revolution. Both paths threaten to destroy his relationships and tear apart the world he fought to save.
