Cuthbert Dane, a proton who was abandoned by his family, is an ordinary person without any ability in a world where everyone has "gifts".
However, a sudden assassination caused him to be designated as the "Messenger of God" by Pope Gregory XIV - becoming a key pawn in the game between the church and the royal family.
On one side is hypocritical belief, on the other side is bloody conspiracy.
Pope Gregory appears to be benevolent, but secretly controls the fate of the entire Holy City;
Saint Conrad is loyal and dangerous, and his secrets may be darker than those of the Church;
Behind the death of Crown Prince Louis, there was an ulterior deal between the royal family and the Holy See;
And Cyril Wexley, the only friend willing to fight for him, was forced into an engagement that he couldn't refuse...
When lies become the law of survival and betrayal becomes the only way out, Cuthbert must learn to survive in the game between gods and humans.
Because in this holy city, people without gifts will either become puppets or madmen.
