Palaces of Light [Dramatized Adaptation]

Remnants of America's past are littered across the postapocalyptic landscape, but little remains of the preDark ideals of law and order. Survival is a blood quest and lethal force the means to power. Still, a handful retains their humanity among the cold hearts and in a world where nothing lasts forever, hope is a commodity as precious as jack.
Steeped in beauty and mysticism, the canyons of Mesa Verde, Colorado, survived the blast that altered the American west. Hired to track a group of missing children, Ryan Cawdor and his band follow the trail to a legendary city carved in stone, older and stronger than the nukecaust. The inhabitants of the palaces of light are more than warriors and survivors; they are masters of mind games that prey on illusion. And true believers in a metaphysical end game poised to push the companions over the edge of reality…into certain death.
