This is a world where people drink poison to quench their thirst.
Want power? Drink a potion.
Want to become stronger? Drink more.
The price is gradually turning into something inhuman.
Starting out as an apprentice at a potion shop, Adrian swallows his first mouthful of Gravel Potion and embarks on a supernatural path from which there is no turning back.
He reads the memories of the dead in the dust, searches for a chance to advance in the fog, and struggles to survive between the church and the Night Watch.
Yet every poisoned drink brings him closer to the howling “truth”:
What exactly are potions?
And why does this world feed on poison?
“I don't want to become a monster.”
“But if I don't grow stronger, I won't even have the right to be human.”
