Apotheosis

by Brett J. Baker

Following the Battle of Baratrum, Morganthe and Cymru return to Cathair Neamhai as heroes. But things take an unexpected turn when Morganthe is seduced by Lascivia. Lascivia fills Morganthe in on the dirty little secret of Cathair Neamhai, and she returns, confirming it in the well of eternity. This leads to a confrontation between Morganthe and her father Torano, one that will alter their relationship inexorably.

Cymru, meanwhile, pays a visit to Eru the Forgemaster to have a set of special weapons made. In the process, he encounters for the first time the phantoms that have always moved throughout London unseen. This leads him to investigate, and he discovers that these phantoms seem to be centered around a company called GlobalCom. He also learns that GlobalCom is more than a company, it is a cult with a nefarious purpose; one that will require his intervention. At the same time, Morganthe has a deadly encounter with the followers of the fallen goddess Morta and in an effort to escape that confrontation she finds herself in a far-off place she never expected to actually visit. While she is there recovering from her confrontation, Lascivia comes to her aid, and she brings along a surprising ally. Finally, Lascivia suggests that Morganthe retrieve a powerful artifact from the past, one that could shift the balance of power forever. What's the dirty little secret of Cathair Neamhai? What is GlobalCom's true purpose? And what is this powerful artifact?
