In the land of the Five Rivers, the magical waters that flow from the Citadel grant the people who know to use them incredible powers. Power that the Church of the Citadel guards jealously and with an iron fist. Years after Ruza the Unwashed, the world's greatest warrior and wielder of the Forgotten Blade, destroyed the last chance for the people to overthrow the Church's cruel tyranny, he is recruited by a schoolteacher to save the souls of her two children cursed by inquisitors for no crime at all.
To do that, they must do what no one has ever done - infiltrate the Citadel, discover the source of the Five Rivers, and there vanquish the most powerful adversary of all: the malevolent God who created this world in the first place.
