Una nit fatídica, en Vespre, un paranyer de l’illa Patji, s’adona que Els De Dalt volen conquerir el seu poble per fer ús dels Aviar, les aus sobrenaturals amb què comparteixen vincle. Per això, quan es presenta l’oportunitat de travessar un portal místic per buscar ajuda a través del caliufosc, en Vespre s’hi llança equipat només amb una canoa i amb tot l’enginy i coratge que el caracteritza.
En un lloc desconegut del caliufosc, es troba la nau espacial Dinàmic, capitanejada per l’Estrel·lí, una drac jove empresonada en forma humana, i tripulada per un grapat de marginats i exiliats. L’equip del Dinàmic ha descobert una oportunitat molt lucrativa, que l’Estrel·lí podria aprofitar per eixugar el deute que escanya el seu grup.
En Vespre i l’Estrel·lí uneixen forces pensant de solucionar els problemes propis, però aquesta unió ben poc convencional també s’haurà d’enfrontar a compromisos arriscats, el verí de la política i l’eco destructiu d’un déu mort.

Work Description
All his life, Sixth of the Dusk has been a traditional trapper of Aviar - the supernatural birds his people bond with - on the deadly island of Patji. Then one fateful night he propels his people into a race to modernize before they can be conquered by the Ones Above, invaders from the stars who want to exploit the Aviar.
But it's a race they're losing, and Dusk fears his people will lose themselves in the effort. When a chance comes to sail into the expanse of the emberdark beyond a mystical portal, Dusk sets off to find his people's salvation with only a canoe, his birds, and all the grit and canniness of a Patji trapper.
Elsewhere in the emberdark is a young dragon chained in human form: Starling of the starship Dynamic. She and her ragtag crew of exiles are deep in debt and on the brink of losing their freedom. So when she finds an ancient map to a hidden portal between the emberdark and the physical realm, she seizes the chance at a lucrative discovery.
These unlikely allies might just be the solution to each other's crises. In their search for independence, Dusk and Starling face perilous bargains, poisonous politics, and the destructive echo of a dead god.
