An Imperial Investigator is sent to Investigate, and possibly assassinate a mysterious preacher in the wastes. In doing so he stumbles upon an even more shadowy presence that could jeopardise the entire Empire he is sworn to protect. Can the preacher assist him in overcoming the shortcomings resultant from his training and the betrayal of his family, or is the seemingly innocuous Movement following the "Phoenix" doomed to be slaughtered as a way of destabilising the Theocratic Empire?
