Jomtal Noden is a skilled warrior in the immersive virtual world called Hyperion, where bird-like humans battle for control of territories and spires. After receiving secret intelligence about a rival house's leader, Jomtal embarks on a dangerous journey across enemy territory, facing deadly obstacles and encounters that showcase both the breathtaking beauty and brutal dangers of Hyperion, while revealing how this virtual reality provides purpose and meaning lacking in the "Regs" (regular life) for players like Zale Maren, the human behind Jomtal's avatar.
Isolde Cordelia is a woman plotting to assassinate the cruel overseer Isaac Whitmar at a Martian plantation where humans are kept as chattel under an electromagnetic shield that blocks access to the Q Network.
