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.
