Ten years after BLACK & ORANGE, Patty Middleton has nearly destroyed the Church of Midnight single-handedly. The Nomad executes Church members by the dozen, demanding answers from the elusive Messenger. Her partner begs her to stop, but Patty won't quit her relentless hunt. Her mantle powers grow unstable, threatening to kill anyone nearby just when she needs them most. New enemies emerge as the Office of Arcane Phenomenon targets her. Chaplain Cloth grows desperate after years of failure. He seeks mythical columns that can hold gateways open permanently. With half his Church dead, this Halloween may be his final chance for thousands of years. He must claim the columns and sacrifice the Heart of the Harvest. But the Heart exists in another realm this time. Patty and Cloth will face their ultimate confrontation in the Old Domain, where the stakes couldn't be higher and her deteriorating condition threatens everything.
