<p>The Old Gods are the Worst.</p> <p>In a city where industrial magic is booming, Kailas Darkchar's unique ability to dispel magic is more of a curse than a blessing. The only person interested in her unique talent is an old priest, who turns up at the door with a bag of gold and a proposal. To earn the gold, Kailas must venture into the cursed Ithos Darg forest, which has for centuries been poisoned by the magical malaise - the Black Bane - and bring out the mortal remains of a god.</p> <p>Such a simple task.</p> <p>Everything about the priest feels wrong. But when Kailas refuses, the priest's entreaties turn to threats, leaving her no choice but to go on the run. Her sanctuary is short-lived, when a golden-eyed stranger intercepts her and delivers a chilling warning. The Mayqsa are inflamed by their holy mission to raise their god, and will stop at nothing to have her. Kailas must do their bidding before the next blood moon, or their religion is cursed to dust.</p> <p>The stranger vows to keep her safe, but something about him doesn't ring true. Powerful magic courses through his veins, yet Kailas's touch is poison. He appears to be following his own agenda, one with roots reaching back thousands of years.</p> <p>As old legends come to life, Kailas must unravel the stranger's true purpose while evading the Mayqsa. Without knowing who to trust, she must face an immortal enemy, counter the old gods, and push her ability beyond its limits.</p> <p>For, if the Mayqsa succeed in their mission, the world will fall.</p>
