Sent on a dangerous mission with little hope of succeeding, the man known as “Twinkle Eyes” has beaten the odds and found the key that could save civilization: Rafik, a teenage boy with the power to unlock the invaluable Tarakan technology that can restart their world. But the world might not be ready for what is unleashed, and now Twinkle Eyes must find a needle in a haystack in order to save himself...and perhaps the world.

More than 100 years have passed since the Catastrophe brought humanity to the brink of extinction. Those who survived are changed. The Wildeners have reverted to the old ways - but with new gods - while others place their faith in the technology that once powered their lost civilization. A lowly scribe of the Guild of Historians must venture into the wilds beyond the glass and steel towers to discover the fate of a child who mysteriously disappeared more than a decade before and was one of a special few with the power to restore this lost civilization to glory once again.

In a world transformed by technological disaster, the last survivor of the Guild of Historians, and his wisecracking mercenary companion, once again find themselves searching for a missing child with unfathomable abilities. Battling through a brutal future and returning to the dangerous City of Towers, they will need brains, heavy weapons, and a whole lot of luck to survive. But they are also haunted - and hunted - by shadows of the past. The story of a scientist who survived the end of the world holds deadly secrets. And a ruthless assassin from another era is on their trail.

Rafik, der Puzzler, war ein Kind, bevor er sich in die größte Bedrohung seiner Welt verwandelte. Er gab seine körperliche Existenz auf, doch der Tod bedeutet für Rafik nicht das Ende. Dies gilt auch für den letzten Überlebenden der Gilde der Historiker: Funkelauge konnte Rafik im Kampf nicht besiegen, doch nun erhält er eine zweite Chance: Er kehrt von den Toten zurück und reist in die zwielichtige Stadt der Türme, wo schweres Geschütz und eine große Portion Glück vonnöten sein werden, um zu überleben.

Die Stadt der Türme ist ein Ort voller Rätsel. Hier kämpfen Gilden, die über Magie gebieten, gegen Cyborg-Banditen, welche nach Artefakten einer untergegangenen Zivilisation suchen. Jene Schätze befinden sich im Inneren der Stadt der Türme, das von Monstern bevölkert, von Fallen gespickt und voll verschlossener Türen ist. Und genau hier kämpft ein Junge ums Überleben: Rafik ist der einzige Mensch, der die Rätsel der Stadt der Türme knacken kann. Denn er ist ein Puzzler, an dessen Fingern sich wie Schlüssel geheimnisvolle Tätowierungen befinden.

Among the ruins of a civilization beyond their understanding, humanity clings to survival. Guilds vie for control of ancient cities, bandits ride glowing highways and cyborg adventurers hunt for lost technology. In the City of Towers, once the heart of the fallen Tarakan empire, a historian searches for clues to explain the disappearance of Rafik, a young boy with extraordinary abilities - a Puzzler.
