Althalus is a legendary master thief whose luck has finally run out. Desperate, he accepts a dangerous commission to steal a mythical book from the House at the End of the World. Instead of a quick heist, he encounters Dweia, a goddess in the form of a black cat, who drafts him into a cosmic war against her malevolent brother. Armed with the Book of the Gods, Althalus must gather a band of outcast heroes and learn the ways of magic before the world is unmade. ​Archival
