Death was supposed to be the end. For Xayn and Bazren, it was only the beginning. Escaping the eternal purgatory of Mortmundus, two ancient revenants claw their way back to the realm of the living. Their mission is absolute: unearth the magic required to break the curse of undeath and free the countless souls they left behind in the dark. But the world of the living is not as they remember. To survive, they must wear stolen flesh and navigate a society that would eradicate them on sight. Worse, their resurrection has not gone unnoticed. The cosmic tear that allowed their escape has awakened dormant Precursors: primeval gods who view mortals and undead alike as mere pieces on a chessboard. Plunging headfirst into a bloody, underground holy war between fanatical death-cults and ruthless syndicates, Xayn and Bazren must forge uneasy alliances with broken sorceresses and disillusioned champions. They defied death to save their people. Now, they must outsmart the gods themselves to do it. --Credits-- Cover, illustrations: Nano Banana / Photopea Proofreading, flow improvements: Gemini 3.1 Pro -- Expect a new chapter every weekend.
