Synopsis
The story takes place in the space age of the cosmere. It follows Sigzil, made immortal through unknown means and accompanied by Auxiliary, a dead spren-like being bonded to him. Now calling himself Nomad, he Skips from planet to planet to escape a group called the Night Brigade. Complicating his escape is the fact that Nomad is beset upon by a Torment, a mysterious condition that makes him incapable of causing harm, even in self-defence or defence of others.[2]
Nomad's latest Skip takes him to a world of deadly sunlight, where he is immediately captured and placed in a fighting arena. There, those who lose are sent out to die in the sun, while the survivors are transformed into Invested warriors. When the arena is attacked by refugees hoping to rescue their captured people, Nomad throws his lot with them, and soon discovers they seek an entrance to mythical lands beneath the ground, where they believe they will find safety.[2]
