With a recent failure looming over him, Doctor Damien grows dissatisfied with his meager contributions to curing the sick. With an unknown amount of time before he is consumed by his own flames, he searches for the answer that will position him to lead the Order to lasting change. Meanwhile, we meet a skittish and peculiar boy: Uriel Bookman, the son of the late and highly respected Doctor Alexander. He struggles to mourn the loss of his father and finds himself disconnected from the others in the Order. He must navigate dealings with monsters and the resident alchemist, Tink, to achieve a secretive, time sensitive, and morbid goal. Does Uriel truly have the Order’s best interests in mind?
