Shin Asado is a man with more than one problem. He's broke, he has mounting debt, he has employees to pay, and the only job he can find for his team of ‘troubleshooters’ is for a crime lord. The planet of Siluria - has been in a holding pattern for centuries, ever since the godlike being Rither was killed. Horrible twisted creatures called Phantom Husks have infected the land, they consume and transform everyone they touch into more of themselves. Only the divine will of the Owl King has kept them at bay and postponed the end of the world. Shin and his Novapol Group are about to discover a long-forgotten secret that will shake their beliefs and subtly change the course of history. And maybe, with a bit of luck, they'll even get paid.
