A once-legendary gunslinger mired in alcohol and grief. His malfunctioning sentient AI companion who lives in his oven. An orphaned kid with uncontrollable powers. And a heist against cybernetic priests that will open a Pandora’s Box of mysteries.
Raziel, once a legendary Gunslinger of the Outer Ring known as the Rust Reaver, is now a drunken husk of the man he used to be. When his sentient AI companion develops a fatal error, he can’t let it go, because HOB was programmed by his late little brother. He shakes off the haze and embarks on a suicide mission to get the money needed to repair his only friend.
The heist goes wrong in spectacular fashion, and Raziel winds up with an experimental gem lodged in his chest. All three Rings of Jupiter would kill for the power in his possession - literally. He now has the ability to ‘level up’ his abilities and absorb the powers of others. This new power makes Raziel formidable but also paints a target on his back.
The Rings of Jupiter once took everything from him, but now? Now he has the power to make things right.
And get revenge against the person who killed his brother.
When an Otherlord asks you to investigate his impending demise, you can't exactly turn him down. Not that Raziel intended to. Not when Reina needs his help. Not when the trail leads into the legendary Delve-Lands.
A place of unimaginable riches and equally unimaginable dangers. The deeper you go, the less certain your return. Beyond every gate waits another chamber. Where it leads, and what awaits within, is anyone's guess.
Some find fortune.
Some are never found again.
To reach Reina's father, Raziel and Reina must become Delvers and descend into the depths of this ever-shifting labyrinth. While Reina searches for her father, Raziel carries the burden of knowing she's already too late.
But the Delve-Lands are changing.
A bloody hand tightens around the heart of the ancient facility. And in its shadow stands a man of pure gray.
A herald of death.
The Delve-Lands await.
Beware the Delver's Doom.
