After narrowly escaping an army of religious zealots, Jinua, Ontiku, and the two new members of their party, Hylas and Aketa, are attacked by a pack of flesh-eating monsters. They're forced to take shelter at Ghost Peak, the sight of a notorious battle between paladins and necromancers centuries ago. Well, Jinua the paladin calls it a battle. Ontiku the necromancer calls it a genocide. As the group continues to fracture, they become vulnerable to a dark, deadly force that not even a paladin or demigod with the gifts of gods can fight against. Ontiku and Hylas become the group's only chance of getting out of Ghost Peak alive, assuming the four of them don't kill each other, first.
