THE RISE, THE FALL takes place in the future-fantasy world of Abaddon, besieged by monsters called Judgement.
The inhabited world of Abaddon is divided between two cities: Icarae, the floating city, and Promethe, the undercity. For the most part, Abaddon is icy, barren and unforgiving – its two cities rely on technology to hold the forces of nature at bay.
