The demons of this world have two shadows in their souls. One faces forward, reaching toward the future; the other faces backward, connected to antiquity. When the backward-facing shadow opens its eyes, a demon is born.
But if an awakening goes wrong, the shadow tears apart and its power runs wild, transforming the demon into something else: a god. The change is irreversible and uncontrollable, and both humans and demons unite to oppose them.
Beneath London, an organization disguised as an antique shop hunts down these rogue gods. They call themselves the Godhunters’ Lodge. Nineteen-year-old Zhong Chi is drawn into their world when his own awakening goes wrong, knowing nothing of the rules hidden beneath the surface of reality. From London to Kyoto, from the frozen Siberian wastes to the Nordic polar night, he hunts rogue gods, even as others hunt him.
He must learn to walk the line between demons and gods. And he must answer one question: as he draws ever closer to that boundary, who will hunt him?
