The series follows a newly exalted Solar named Kidale, and includes in its cast several characters who had previously appeared in other works, such as Demetheus (from Castebook: Dawn) and Faka Kun (from Castebook: Night). The brief storyline covers events from Kidale's Exaltation to his eventual death during a Wyld Hunt; while the story itself stops there, the events of it are occasionally referenced through the pre-chapter comics of the second edition of the RPG by the same name, until Return of the Scarlet Empress.
