This book takes place in the [[cosmere]], on a planet known as [[First of the Sun]]. Most of the story takes place on and around Patji, the largest island in an archipelago called The [[Pantheon]]. Patji is considered the father of the islands of the Pantheon, being the largest and the one that all Aviar must go to get their talent. It is treacherous, with creatures such as Meekers, which are mice that can be trained to harm others, trees that attract different animals so after they kill each other their soil is made rich from the blood of the dead, and nightmaws, which are terrifying birdlike creatures which hunt by finding somebody's cognitive signals.
