Energy-Substrate Scaling is a unified theory of complexity. The law states that complex systems rise by discovering energy accounts, flourish by spending them, and fall when the balance diminishes, with the height of their flourish determined by the size of the accessible account. Energy-Substrate Scaling: A Unified Theory of Complexity Core Axiom: The scope, structure, and lifespan of any complex system are dictated by the characteristics of the energy substrate it can access and exploit. This is not merely a theory of resource use. It is a theory of metabolic fate. It posits that the story of any complex structure, from a bacterium to a civilization to a star, is prefigured in the relationship between its hunger for order and the fund of useful energy it can consume.

As grandes linhagens reais governam com o que resta de seus poderes, enquanto o povo comum sobrevive sob a sombra de cidades voadoras que ameaçam cair a qualquer momento. ​Lúcius não quer salvar o mundo. Ele é um contrabandista de relíquias que vive de restos, vendendo artefatos mágicos quebrados para pagar o aluguel de uma taverna imunda. Sua vida se resume a evitar guardas e não morrer de fome, até que ele invade o mausoléu de uma linhagem dada como extinta. ​Lá, ele não encontra ouro ou joias, mas uma coroa feita de ossos que se funde à sua própria pele ao toque. Agora, Lúcius carrega o peso de um reino morto e o poder de invocar memórias de guerreiros que já se transformaram em pó. Perseguido por reis que cobiçam seu novo "fardo" e assombrado pelas vozes daqueles que ele agora comanda, ele terá que decidir se usa essa herança para subir ao topo ou se quebra o ciclo de poder que está destruindo Arthemis. ​Em uma jornada onde o herói é egoísta, o vilão tem motivos compreensíveis e a magia cobra um preço em sanidade, Lúcius descobrirá que, às vezes, para sobreviver entre gigantes, é preciso se tornar o monstro que eles mais temem.
