A thousand years ago, Goge was a name whispered by kings, mages, and monsters. Now he has returned to Akune, a decaying port city ruled by corrupt nobles, predatory merchants, and laws designed to keep the poor obedient.
His first act is to walk into City Hall, kill the ruling lord, and announce that the city belongs to him.
Goge calls himself absolute evil. He is a necromancer, a survivor of a forgotten empire, and a man powerful enough to treat armies as an inconvenience. He speaks politely, dresses impeccably, carries an ornate cane, and surrounds himself with the dead. He is also impatient, exhausted, and entirely baffled that anyone would question his right to resume governing a city he last saw a thousand years ago.
Akune is not prepared for him.
The nobles scramble to protect their titles, fortunes, and hidden crimes. The Royal College sends a celebrated mage to destroy the intruder. Commander Teric must decide whether his duty belongs to the crown or to the people trapped beneath it. Hammond, a weary city watchman, dreams of escaping Akune with Nina, a clever young woman whose freedom has been buried beneath debt. Priests, smugglers, clerks, merchants, and thieves all find themselves caught between the old order and something far more dangerous.
Then Goge finds Lily.
Hidden in an orphanage near the Temple of Mynar, Lily has spent her life disguised by powerful magic. Beneath the illusion are black hair, dark eyes, and the first signs of horns. She is an abyssal, a child of another realm, abandoned in a city that would fear, sell, or dissect her if the truth became known. She has dreamed of a terrible Shadow Man standing among thousands of corpses. When Goge appears at her door, she knows at once that he is the monster from her nightmares.
