The disgraced cleric Yixue is falsely branded a harbinger of disaster and driven out. By chance, she awakens a special constitution that lets her sense and repair ancient holy relics. With each relic she restores, she awakens the consciousness of a Lord of the Mysteries sealed within it: a mechanical bishop who manipulates the forces of space and time, or an ancient ruler who commands the whispers of souls. When her family faces the threat of being consumed by the abyss, she returns wielding the powers of twelve holy relics. As her former fiancé kneels and begs for help, she smiles faintly. “I was never repairing my family’s fate, but the survival of civilization across the entire continent.”
