Daemos stalks the skeletal streets of Viscrucia looking for a worthy victim. He finds it in the city's nightmares when a sinister Lord challenges Daemos to claim the unkillable in return for a chance at immortality. The crimson odyssey leads him to monsters, obscure religions, lust, and a transformation no human has ever survived.

Something emerges from the depths of the Suffering eager to drag him there, but the Lord has other plans. A storm grows. Viscrucia evolves. More and more want Daemos's head. Flesh will be paid.

Pain is just the beginning.
