The adventurous serial killer Flade and the vengeful detective Dyler have been working on their dreams for years, cleansing humanity of whoredom and crime respectively. Barely faced with each other, they are forced to confront new threats: a plant bender who delays the salvatory death of her enemies, an unstoppable telepath who pushes the boundaries of the possible, and a mysterious syndicate leader who absorbs dangerous criminals from around the world.
Tangles and skirmishes escalate into a full-fledged war. But the brute force of blades, arrows and magic won't be enough to prevail. Cunning, power of beliefs, and methods of achieving goals are the undeniable determinants here. The conflict will severely test and redefine everyone involved. Or it will kill them.
