La maison Berethnet règne sur l'Inys depuis plus de mille ans. La reine Sabran IX doit impérativement donner naissance à une héritière, mais des assassins essaient de l'en empêcher.

Et pendant que l'Est et l'Ouest se divisent un peu plus chaque jour, les forces du chaos s'éveillent d'un long sommeil...
Intrépide et épique, Un jour de nuit tombée ramène les lecteurs dans le monde du Prieuré de l'Oranger et nous montre ce qui a façonné ce monde pour les générations à venir...
Tunuva Melim est une soeur du Prieuré de l'Oranger. Pendant cinquante ans, elle s'est entraînée à tuer des wyrms, mais aucun n'est apparu depuis le Sans-Nom, et la jeune génération commence à remettre en question le but de la communauté secrète.
Au Nord, dans le reinaume d'Inys, Sabran l'Ambitieuse a épousé le nouveau roi du Hróth, sauvant de justesse les deux royaumes de la ruine. Leur fille, Glorian, vit dans leur ombre, exactement là où elle veut demeurer.
Dumai a quant à elle passé sa vie dans un temple de montagne seiikinois, essayant de réveiller les dragons de l'Est de leur long sommeil. Mais le passé de sa mère va venir bouleverser son destin.
Lorsque le Mont Effroi entre en éruption, entraînant avec lui une ère de terreur et de violence, ces trois femmes doivent trouver la force de protéger l'humanité d'une menace dévastatrice.
À Scion-Londres, les clairvoyants n'ont pas droit de cité. Ils sont pourtant nombreux à vivre et à travailler dans la clandestinité, comme Paige, dont le job consiste à voler des informations dans l'esprit des gens pour le compte d'un baron de la pègre. Un soir, la police psychique l'appréhende et l'envoie à Oxford, dans un camp de rééducation où des êtres dotés d'un pouvoir inimaginable, les réphaïm, font régner la terreur. L'un d'eux, le gouverneur Arcturus, la prend sous son aile et lui propose même de l'aider à développer ses talents. Mais Paige n'a qu'un seul objectif : l'évasion.
Paige s'est échappée de la colonie pénitentiaire de Sheol I, mais ses problèmes ne font que commencer, car elle est désormais la personne la plus recherchée de Londres. La marcherêve a pourtant des révélations à faire devant l'assemblée des Anormaux. Et cela n'est pas du goût de tous, y compris au sein de la communauté des clairvoyants, ébranlée par de profondes dissensions. Paige doit absolument continuer à se cacher, des Sept-Cadrans à Westminster en passant par les catacombes secrètes de Camden, jusqu'à ce que le sort du monde souterrain puisse être décidé.
