This is the City. The City you enter to stay there forever. Either—dead, whom no one will ever look for, or—alive. Alive as toys in the hands of a secret and merciless ruler—the Cardinal. A City where killers have neither past nor soul. Because there is no soul, and there cannot be one, for the `aiuamarka` created out of nothing—who carry out their assigned tasks and then go back into nothing.
This is the City. A city of crime and violence. A city of bloody sorcery, coming from dark, ancient times. A city that is its own killer, an aiuamarka.
