Lena Pierrot is the last living member of her Vodou Church’s most disgraced family—outcast, mistrusted, and born with a heretical power she must keep hidden. When her adoptive mother, a retired Church military leader, is murdered, Lena uncovers a conspiracy linking the Church’s divine magic not to the gods, but to a dwindling supply of sacred ore buried beneath the city.

Meanwhile, Nick Warner—a skeptical college student—begins losing time and suffering visions of Oya, an African goddess of death and storms, who claims he must find Lena to stop an ancient, all-consuming malevolent force.

Their paths collide as assassins close in, the Church fractures, and the city’s spiritual underworld turns violent. To survive, Lena and Nick must unearth her family’s hidden mine, navigate deadly memories between life and death, and choose between upholding a broken divine order or igniting a revolution that could tear the veil off the entire world.
