Half a God

For centuries, the Lord-Inquisitors of the Church of the Holy Ark have hunted Mindrippers with a single-mindedness that bordered on obsession. In the age of musket and cannon, the hunt leads them to the ancient city of Dilgan where women are being butchered by an unknown killer. Here, Enk Gueye, the young scion of a noble house, wakes from a nightmare to discover he can read - and control - other people’s minds. He thinks he’s a god, but the Lord-Inquisitors have another name for what he has become: Mindripper.

What would you sacrifice to save the world? For decades, Worship Osei has hunted Mindrippers with the aid of her Lord-Inquisitors. But when her current Lord-Inquisitor is incapacitated in the ancient city of Dilgan, she is forced to seek help from a darker source, from a Sophic Nun. Will Sister Fana's holy magic be enough to destroy Enk Gueye, the most potent Mindripper in an age?
