Every month the long night drives monsters into a frenzy, and villagers like thirteen-year-old David fight to survive until dawn while the privileged shelter in walled cities. Witnessing the deaths of fellow villagers shatters a mental limiter, unlocking memories of a past life as an engineer. Armed with the scientific method, a power to harvest memories from the freshly dead, and a growing command of the world's volatile magic, David sets out to carve a better life for his family. When an intelligent monster settles in the neighboring forest and the knights meant to protect them target his alchemist mother, David is done observing. What he lacks in brawn, he will make up for in sharp thinking and sheer audacity.
