Meanwhile, Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, attempting to awaken the sleeping gods. When someone from her mother's past arrives, her carefully ordered life begins to unravel. As the Dreadmount erupts and unleashes an age of terror, these women must confront their fears, challenge old traditions, and find the strength to defend humanity against a devastating threat.
