About the Book
The Factory has left Refuge and gone up into the realm of the stars.
The impossible departure is witnessed across the city. Shields abandon discipline for panic, civilians flood into the streets, and every unanswered question points toward the same fear: The Wall may be next.
Rath has no time to understand what has happened. He can only act. He opens Bridges, forces order onto the evacuation, sends warnings toward The Wall, and begins moving everyone he can reach before the remaining Colossi decide the fate of Refuge for themselves.
The people around him have begun to call him Magister and wait for his commands. Rath has pulled his orders from books and theatricals, but command means decisions, and the world that taught him his place has vanished along with The Factory.
The Tower is the third volume of The Colossi, continuing Rath’s journey through forbidden Talents, ancient structures, rival nations, and a catastrophe no one in Refuge was prepared to survive.
Read the Opening
