In Ihlok Vartul, magic and spirits are as common as machines and animals. Of these, there is no worse demon than Shujaa Mkubwa and his Dying Sun Empire, who, in a quest to kill the creator god Mbombo, have turned their home continent into a hellish slave pit, forever mining deeper towards his buried home.
The story of The Blessed & The Basic (Book 1) is that of a humble family caught in the gears of the Dying Sun's machinery. Faraji Ngubane, his cynical son Fortus, and their found family struggle every day to maintain their souls against the dehumanizing mine. It's a horrible balancing act, and the arrival of newcomer Merek Corbin is sure to upset it.
