God is dead. His body is hidden in the catacombs beneath Mordew.
In the slums of the city, being destroyed by the sea, a boy named Nathan Treeves leads a miserable existence with his parents. But one day, his desperate mother sells him to the mysterious Lord Mordew, who invisibly rules the city.
The Lord gains his magical power by feeding on the remains of the god. However, Nathan, despite his lowly origins and his own fears, also possesses a power that surpasses anything the Lord has ever known or wielded. The power is great enough to destroy everything he has built. If only Nathan can learn how to use it.
And so the Lord begins to weave intrigues, and Nathan must face betrayal, uncover ancient secrets, and settle personal scores with the strange inhabitants of the city to reach the place where the god was killed and eternal darkness reigns.
