All the world is a grave…
Slick with rot and clawing his way out through a reeking mound of corpses to reach the anemic light of day, Lysander finds the world has fallen to ruin since his death. The Scorn of the Dead Gods has spread like a plague across the land, tainting, infecting and twisting everything in its path, making all that was once beautiful, monstrous.
Yet as he finds his place in the world, he discovers that he has been returned to this mortal coil with a purpose; to slay the goddess that he worshipped and died for a millennium ago. The only being he has ever loved. For the Scorn has taken Our Lady of Light, and what she is becoming will make all the horrors that he's seen so far seem like a kindness.'

All the world is a grave…
Slick with rot and clawing his way out through a reeking mound of corpses to reach the anemic light of day, Lysander finds the world has fallen to ruin since his death. The Scorn of the Dead Gods has spread like a plague across the land, tainting, infecting and twisting everything in its path, making all that was once beautiful, monstrous.
He must rise again with only haunting fragments of the life he once led, the battles he once fought and the friends that he has lost to guide him.
He must rise again, binding his soul to the heartless corpse it has inhabited through forbidden and grotesque magic so that it will last the night.
He must rise again, to reclaim a shadow of the power that he has forgotten, because the shattered world that has called him back from sweet oblivion stands on the brink of annihilation.
He has been returned to this mortal coil with a purpose; to slay the goddess that he worshipped and died for a millennium ago. The only being he has ever loved.
Because the Scorn has taken Our Lady of Light, and what she is becoming will make all the monsters, corpses, and horrors that came before seem like a kindness.

Vengeance was never going to be sated with just one dead god.
The goddess Lacrima lays dead and ruined. Her body and soul corrupted by the Scorn of the Dead Gods, but with her dying breath she bequeathed onto Lysander the cruelest gift that she could conceive of; hope.
Their daughter Zira, born mere weeks before Lysander was betrayed and slaughtered like an animal by his best friends is alive. She has somehow survived not only the death and destruction that followed his assassination but also the intervening centuries and the spread of the Scorn.
Against all odds Zira is alive, and nothing will keep her from Lysander, not the Grand Archives of Metis, where an Incarnate rules over endless libraries like a roosting bird of prey, not the monstrosities that the Scorn had evolved from the corpses of the dead, not even the full might of the Cataphract Order arrayed against him.
Anyone who stands between The Lord of Lies and his daughter is going in the ground.
