The Moon Goddess let Amelia's mother and sister perish and did nothing. Amelia has believed in no god since that day. She holds her mother's pendant and makes a blood oath to kill the gods as a mortal. To get close to them, she becomes the vessel for the Moon Goddess's remnant soul, and she lets Damian, the Lord of the Abyss, capture her. In his obsidian temple she offers the lonely tyrant tenderness and companionship until he falls for her.
He surrenders his thousand-year obsession and seals his divine power, and she guides him into a wasteland where immortals perish. There he is reduced to an ordinary man who remembers nothing, while she holds on to her mind and her vendetta. The blade she carries is first a vendetta and second a mortal's challenge to every deity.
