Everyone becomes prey when Earth is swallowed up and transmuted to a bestial landscape, the first stage of induction into Elysium's multiverse and a new galaxy in the making. In the blink of any eye, the bloodthirsty creatures of Riven Thane's worst nightmares are unleashed as he; his sister, Allie; and his friend Jose scramble amid the carnage to live another hour. But on this nothing of a planet, Riven is more special than he knows. He's among a select few with a singular bloodline, and the Elysium system has its eye on Riven in particular.

Riven Thane has survived nearly the first half of his journey into the Abyssal Descent, but questions are starting to arise. It seems the Blood God isn't as transparent as he pretends to be. Whispers of lost fragments of the Blood subpillar have surfaced, crucial knowledge that could elevate Riven above the rest of his generation—or brand him a heretic and see him torn apart by the clergy. But he's not alone in walking this sinful path. Elder Thune and his agents are plotting in the dark, and every move Riven makes draws the attention of rivals who're just as desperate to ascend in power.

The Hopi share tales of a devastating global flood like those found in cultures across the world.

There seems to be no way out of the mess, but luckily this adventuring party still has some tombs to raid, traps to defeat, and, most importantly, treasures to hunt.
