Synopsis

First Magus Vordegh is obsessed with destroying the heretic cult of Order, and his atrocities grow worse while the gods ignore pleas for sanity. Benetan Liss believes that obedience or death are his only choices and is forced to take part in the reprisals. Then a violent event sets him against the heretics and the otherworldly source of their power, and he must decide where his loyalty lies.

Where it sits
