This book belongs to the Western fantasy Cthulhu style. The blind veteran Backstein leads a group of survivors to defend the small town of Hopewell, which is on the verge of destruction, and then steps into the corrupted wasteland of another world to explore the truth. Not only do everyone have to face the threat of the origin of blood sacrifice, but they also have to fight against the illusion of inner demons caused by the erosion of the void, peel off the layers of illusion, uncover the full truth about the distortion of the world, and seek a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.
The hero is dead
They have reason to fear the world, which has descended into madness.
But there is hope—in those traumatized souls.
A blind veteran, guarding a comatose adopted son, tried his best to protect the entire town from being swallowed up by the sacrifice. A noble gunman with his coat of arms dismantled, wearing a hat soaked in blood. Four teenagers trembling in fear, clutching their spears that had never pierced a living person, and countless souls with the same fate...
The group of people was forced to fall into this distorted world. The town was in danger. Only by stepping into the depths of the mountains, eradicating the roots of blood sacrifices and cutting off the attack routes of the cult could they regain the remaining hope on the rotting land.
The road to salvation is already paved with thorns.
They are well aware of fear and failure, but they are still willing to rise up and regain a glimmer of light from this rotten land.
Look for that hope, salvation lies...
