In a grungy megalopolis where magical ability is a medical disorder controlled and treated by the church, a necromancer hides out from inquisitors and the arcane community that has outlawed his practices. His sanctuary? A gas station that smells like rotten eggs. His use of magic these days is largely limited to warding off would-be thieves, but this semi-settled lifestyle is interrupted when an old acquaintance from the underworld calls in a favor that puts him in the crosshairs of the church. As artifice unravels and past lives intertwine, a wordless book promises a new beginning, and a satellite known as the Eye of God promises the end.
