Awakening Frontier · Volume One: The Towers

On a single night, five landmark towers are lit by a light that is not human, and over every city a strange planet and an open mouth appear in the sky. The towers are not held by tyrants but by five prisoners trapped in systems they built themselves. Five ordinary people from five cities climb with their own dance and their own martial art, and no victory ends in a death: each one sets a keeper free and turns a tower back into an ordinary building. Every freed tower gives up the ship locked inside it, enough to reach the next tower. However high they fly, the door they can see in the sky stays out of reach.

They built the towers to touch the sky. We climb them to let people out.
