DESIRES DARK AND DIVINE

Fresh off his promotion to iron rank, Loren takes on a request from an old friend, Claes. A supply run to a nearby village needs security, which Loren and Lapis can happily provide. However, to reach the village, they must pass through a dangerous forest that devours everyone who dares to enter it. All too soon, Loren suspects they've identified the culprit behind these disappearances-the dark god Gula Gluttonia. But Gula isn't the only threat lurking in the night, and her hunger isn't the only one threatening to spiral out of control.
