Synth

Item from Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas

A synthetic drug that temporarily supercharges Vanir power to lethal levels — the street-level symptom of a much darker experiment into what the Asteri want from their subjects.

Also known as: Synth, The Drug

What They Know

• Synth is engineered, not natural — it was designed to test the upper limits of Vanir firstlight output
• The fatal crash occurs because the drug forces the body to generate firstlight faster than it can sustain — the user literally burns out
• Danika traced synth's origins to Asteri-funded laboratories operating through cutouts and intermediaries
• A modified version of synth was used in the kristallos demon — the demon's power comes from the same amplification principle
