Entre as cinzas de um mundo em ruínas, uma soldada encontra uma carta que diz: Queime antes de ler. E assim tem início uma correspondência improvável entre duas agentes de facções rivais travando uma guerra através do tempo e espaço para assegurar o melhor futuro para seus respectivos times.

The foundations of the world are quaking. Markets crash and cities burn as a new god struggles to be born. Ancient hunters skitter across space, eager and hungry. Dark forces conspire to undermine anything or anyone who could stand in their way. Divided, the world of the craft is certain to fall.

Tra le ceneri di un mondo morente, Rossa trova una lettera su cui c'è scritto "Bruciare prima di leggere". Inizia così la strana corrispondenza tra due agenti rivali in una guerra che si dipana attraverso le vastità del tempo e dello spazio. Rossa è membro dell'Agenzia, una distopia tecnologica post singolarità. Blu appartiene al Giardino, un'unica ampia coscienza che risiede in tutta la materia organica. I loro passati sono pieni di sangue; i loro futuri si escludono l'un l'altro. Non hanno nulla in comune, tranne il fatto che sono le migliori. E sono sole.

A deadly force has been unleashed into the world. With apocalypse on the horizon, a girl and a god have joined in order to turn back the coming end. Young, brash, and desperate, they are willing to destroy anything and everything that stands between them and their goals. The structures of the Craft are theirs to overturn, with billions of lives in the balance. And it is all Tara Abernathy's fault.

Since her village chased her out with pitchforks, Tara Abernathy has resurrected gods, pulled down monsters, averted wars, and saved a city, twice. She thought she'd left her dusty little hometown forever. But that was before her father died.
