On the wasteland, everyone trembles at the name Tu Jin. He is the only one still alive. He devours the mutated to stay alive, yet the Blood Core Cult hails him as a miracle, the mechanical fanatics hunt him as the cure for their daughter, and a mute orphan girl sees him as the Eye of the Abyss. Red Crow wants to use him to tear open the Church’s dark secrets. Gray Throat wants to turn him into a weapon. Iron Tumor wants to seize his bloodline to save his daughter, while the Bone Sister wants him to become a new god. When flames rise from the last refuge, Tu Jin finally understands: it is not corruption, but the only weapon against the force consuming the world.
