Rumors say the rotten gods have returned. The order knows they never truly left.

Deep below the surface of Asodhra, horrifying creatures awaken, eager to deceive and devour the souls of humankind.

In the jeweled city of Sonanarth, Pyoshara Zanesh enjoys an undeserved life of luxury, completely oblivious to the evil rising from the depths.

But when Pyoshara and his friend Zafira attend a party in a secluded forest glade, he comes face to face with a rotten god in the flesh. As his shock turns to action, Pyoshara discovers a mysterious order of assassin priests that has been waging a covert war against the rotten gods for centuries.

After seeing the harsh lives the assassins lead, he considers returning to his life of privilege. But when a powerful rotten god latches onto Zafira’s soul, Pyoshara forsakes his wealth to join the order, determined to confront her tormentor before her time runs out.
