The premise, in the publisher's words
The story follows Ember, a small lost soul stranded in a strange and melancholy land, cut off from the way home. Wandering through misty forests, ruins, and quiet wilderness, Ember discovers others like itself: the Forlorn, souls who have given up hope and become trapped by their own despair. Moved to help them, Ember sets out to ease the burdens of these lost travelers and guide them back toward purpose and light. Along the way Ember meets curious characters who offer aid and tools for the journey. Drawing on the feel of old folk tales and storybooks, the tale follows one small soul's search for hope and a path onward.
