When the world ends, survival is no longer enough.

In the aftermath of a catastrophic outbreak fueled by corrupted mana leaking from Hellmouths, a fractured band of survivors struggles to carve meaning from the ruins. At the center stands Gussa of Abyssinia, a young man bound to powers he barely understands. His body carries the Trifold Radiance, a sacred force of Aura, Life-Force, and Heavenly Radiance… but it is tainted by a darker inheritance.

Haunted by the sacrifice of Seraphim du Marrowveil, the cleric who once loved him, and tormented by his own inner corruption, Gussa becomes both protector and danger to those around him. His companions  awaken strange abilities of their own, their fates bound together in a world where humanity teeters between rebirth and damnation.

As cities collapse and Hellmouths widen, revelations unfold: sacred relics, forbidden magics, and the existence of the Blighted Crucible, a profane trinity born from Sheol that seeks to unmake the Radiance itself. When betrayal from within threatens to shatter the group, Gussa must confront not only archdemons and cults but also the war raging inside his own soul.

Both weapon and warning, Gussa of Abyssinia walks the razor edge between salvation and ruin. To embrace his power is to risk becoming the very monster he fights. To resist it may doom the world to eternal corruption.
