MEET KELTRO BASALT. MASTER OF CHISEL AND LOCKPICK. A SELFISH BASTARD AND, ON THE FIRST NIGHT IN ARAXES, A COLD CORPSE.
Araxes is called the City of Countless Souls, a colossal diamond of the Arctic Empire—and what is needed to rule it is to possess the maximum number of souls of the dead. For in Araxes, the dead do not rest in peace after death; they continue to live as slaves of the rich.
While Keltro fights for survival, those around are rushing for the imperial throne in a bloody struggle for power. Dead gods whisper from the mouths of corpses, the soul-thief tries to build a name through an ancient cult, the princess acts against the emperor, and the killer intends to reach Araxes by any means.
AND ONLY ONE THING REMAINS UNCHANGED IN ARAXES. DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.
