Each year, the Nightlords choose a new Emperor to rule Yohuachanca. Delicious food graces his palate. The realm's most beautiful women fill his vast palace. Four priestesses counsel him in all matters. The life of an emperor is good, luxurious, and short...
For at the year's end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon.
Iztac is the piss-poor orphan chosen to be this year's emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar.
But the Nightlords have made a mistake this time. For Iztac is a sorcerer, whose soul journeys into the secret underworld to plunder the secret spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne.
He has a year to find it, or perish for good.
Iztac may not be the first emperor, but he will be the last.
