In a torn world where gods vie for the rights to the souls of the dead, four children are born on different paths. Argus, Ora, Morgan, and Markus, with distinct gifts and conflicting motivations, are brought together in a search for a powerful book bound by the blood of those lost souls. Loyalties are formed and betrayals cut deep. Fallen kingdoms from the past rise while current kingdoms burn. Upon realizing that mortals are mere pawns used by the gods in their quest for even greater power, can these four overcome their individual shortcomings to free the souls forever trapped between life and death?
