Being ambushed by rogue demons on the road is routine for the Sanzou troupe in the wilderness. Yet when their newest attackers prove to be humans, they are forced to confront an unfamiliar threat and the party is left astonished. The enigma grows further upon meeting a wandering cleric, Hazel Grouse, and his protector, Gaty Nene Hawk. Originating from the distant West, Hazel employs his resurrection magic to heal sorrowful communities. Though villagers embrace his gift, the reality beneath is far less wondrous than it appears. Moreover, those he revives acquire gleaming golden eyes—a hallmark shared with the troupe"s recent foes. It seems the amiable priest"s motives are less benevolent than one might think, and the Sanzou group is only a breath away from exposing them today.
