A man of faith and reason, Julian Knight, watches in horror as his best friend twists an academic interest into a deadly sun-worshipping cult. After his friend's ritual suicide, Julian is haunted by his ghost and marked by a supernatural, hand-shaped burn. Now, a malevolent entity that calls itself a god wants Julian to be its next sacrifice. He must fight the encroaching darkness with his own light, before he too is consumed by the blinding, rotting radiance of a god that should not exist.
