THE GODS ARE DYING. AND REALITY IS NEXT.
In the ancient, polytheistic city of Ur, cynical investigator Enlil-Bani and the fiercely connected priestess Nin-Gal form the city's most volatile - and successful - partnership. Their latest case should be simple: an amateur temple theft of golden bowls and silver cups.
But the petty crime is a smokescreen.
A foreign merchant, Avram of Harran, has arrived, preaching a radical, singular God who requires no offerings and accepts no rivals. His message of monotheism and justice is spreading like wildfire, igniting systematic doubt among the city's disillusioned citizens.
As collective belief crumbles, the gods themselves become less substantial. Nin-Gal can feel the Moon God Nanna's consciousness fragmenting, threatening to unravel the cosmic order that holds reality together.
