The old gods have vanished, leaving the city of Valentine vulnerable to ancient monsters that now hunt humanity. Amidst this turmoil, a serial killer is ritualistically sacrificing victims, their bodies scattered across the city. Desperate to save her home, Lilac Antonis plans to summon her mother, a blood god, even if it means betraying those she loves. Meanwhile, detectives Alex and Cecil of Ace Investigations are on the trail of the killer, unaware that their close friend Lilac is behind the gruesome acts. As they close in, they uncover that the gods may not have departed willingly. With the city flooding and Arcadia leading the evacuation efforts, Lilac's dark rituals yield unexpected results, revealing her as a pawn in a much larger scheme. The true cost of the gods' protection is far greater than anyone anticipated, and Alex and Cecil must race against time to uncover the mastermind behind the gods' disappearance before a divine murder plot consumes them all. This story weaves dark fantasy with noir detective elements, set in an alternate reality that reimagines mythology for a modern audience, showcasing an author with limitless creativity.
