An unmoving sun over a land where time stands still. Embittered gods, clutching the last threads of power. A desperate search for mankind's only hope.
When disgraced master of antiquities Cyprian Fontaine is asked to join an expedition to find a relic that could save his collapsing civilization, he sees his chance at redemption. But the journey will not be an easy one.
The expedition must pass through the cratered remains of the old kingdom, baking beneath the eternally static sun, and into the squalid ruins of the fallen capital city, locked in perpetual night. From wind-scoured mountain peaks to wastelands of ash, they will face sadistic cannibals, nightmarish specters of the dead, and dissension in their own ranks, all to find the broken pieces of a divine blade that, once restored, will grant access to a realm beyond their decaying world.
But hoarding the shards of this blade are monstrous gods, the survivors of a cosmic war that left the world's creator dead and the natural order broken. And guiding them to these hidden deities is an enigmatic wanderer from the wastes, a badlander who promises to be Cyprian's salvation... or his downfall.
