The merchant of death
Elias Vorne, a morally compromised corporate lawyer from modern Earth, dies in a hit-and-run—only to be resurrected as the unwilling agent of the Black Emporium, a sentient, interdimensional shop that trades cursed miracles for sacrifices of the soul. Bound to the rotting medieval world of Voryndel, a land choking on its own decay, Elias becomes the Merchant of Ash, forced to broker contracts that grant desperate souls their deepest desires… at a cost that damns them, their nations, and the world itself.
