Abo is a beautiful city sunk into the hardpan beneath an endless salt flat. In airy rooms, open to the sky, people grow food and farm small animals. The life of the city is in the miraculous well beneath.

When Mato's father is murdered, he attempts to join the city guard. Rejected, he begins his search for training, respect, and the secrets of the runes and glyphs that fuel the world's magic.
