Of the Abyss

This book is set in Kavet, where citizens don't pay much attention to the afterlife. However, the Order of the Napthol is responsible for handling questions regarding the next world. Hansa Viridian, a respected captain in the elite guard unit tasked with protecting the population of Kavet, arrests an abyssumancer who claims the creatures of the Abyss have a plan. Despite being taught that the inhabitants of the Abyss are incapable of planning, Sister of the Napthol Cadmia Paynes worries she might have made a mistake. When sorcery implicates Hansa's friend, it sets off a series of events that lead to questions about magic, morality, love, and death.
