The Gilded Surface
In the shadow of the Abyss, Faith is the only shield against the Night.

Relian "Rel" Thorne is a miracle born from the dirt. A son of a low-ranking noble house tasked with guarding the "Shallow Graves" of the Abyss, Rel has spent his life in the shadow of the great cathedrals.

The Church sees in him the prophecy fulfilled: the "Vessel of the Three" who will lead the final crusade to erase the Abyss forever. Relian is ready to serve. But during his first "Sanctification Mission" into the ruins of the Traitor’s capital, Relian finds a relic that shouldn't exist—
