In the empire of Nar Aseen, social class is determined by blood colour — red for the ruling Ember elite, blue for Duster labourers, and clear for the enslaved Ghostings. Three women from different castes — Sylah, a revolutionary hiding her true identity; Anoor, the ruler's sheltered daughter; and Hassa, a Ghosting who moves unseen through the city — converge when the empire's brutal leadership trials, the Aktibar, begin. Their fragile alliance uncovers suppressed truths that could ignite a long-overdue revolution.
