For over a thousand years, The Light has guided humanity through peace and prosperity, cradling humanity within the embrace of The Twelve. Within these walled mega-cities, shut off from the wilds of the world, humanity thrives. But at what cost? Isaac, Sarah and Vera's lives have all been shaped by The Light’s doctrines in vastly different ways, but their beliefs and understandings of reality shatter as they uncover ancient secrets that reveal the dark history behind their world’s peace. Isaac, exiled for being a Spectre, ventures into the wilds to find his lost love, Tristan, but instead discovers powerful spirits—living embodiments of consciousness which The Light seeks to destroy. Sarah, a new mother to a Spectre child, flees the deadly Order 13, which threatens to wipe out her kind. Vera, vying for the favour of the Cardinal - leader of The Light - embarks on a mission to extinguish the spirits in the wilds, igniting a catastrophic chain of events. As their fates collide, they must confront a chilling truth: are any of them truly in control of their actions, or are they the inevitable result of machinations beyond their understanding? Iris is a pulse-pounding tale of survival, power, and the desperate fight for freedom in a world where free will is a dangerous illusion.
