When his helicopter crashes in Aneurin, though, the city's mysterious inhabitants expect him to be all these things-and more. Aneurin is a city for souls, the final stage in the human life Cycle. Darren's ancient connection with the city's founder drags him unwittingly into a power struggle for control of life on Earth. To survive, Darren must discover who he is, who he once was, and find the faith he didn't know he was searching for.
