In the wake of the destruction of Xholulan and the loss of the brujo Ash, Daedus and the remnants of the Markan Legion mourn their dead and heal their wounded. However, time is short and their current benefactor, The Third Lord of Night, has other plans for them. Enemy armies run rampant in the Dangall, laying siege and razing other cities in the name of their now dead god-kings. Daedus finds himself tasked with driving them out while Uh Bak ak'ot makes his way to lay claim to the territories he's won by slaying Tlata Nenepilli and Nun Yax Ayin.But the winds of treachery and ambition stir restlessly through the Dangall. Within the ranks of the Legion, a traitor, long hidden, prepares to make his move. A move which will unleash a storm of suspicion and death threatening the very fabric of brotherhood Daedus has strove to uphold..Meanwhile, mere days away, Nahuacoatl the Leper continues to follow his half brothers commands and his personal quest for vengeance against Daedus. Biding his time to make his own move towards claiming the Master Blades of Wildersteel as his own, he too is unaware that treachery and danger walk within his shadow.And far to the south, in the wilderness of Matauils and Xincan, a dark tapestry of destiny begins to take shape. The demi-goddess Chihuacoatl, the Madness that Walks, continues her plans of subjugating Mankind and ultimately defeating Adzutucoatl, all while raising and instructing the Bakab according to the prophecy set forth by the Dark Prophet. Yet even she cannot foresee what Fate has in store for her and her children when the grim prophecies of the Kubal Kuhak are realized and the Screaming God is finally made flesh.
