Der Tätowierer William Bray erfüllt sich in seinem bescheidenen Tattoo Parlour einen Lebenstraum und bannt meisterhafte Motive auf die Haut seiner Kunden. Als er in einem Antiquariat auf ein Buch stößt, von dem er sich tieferes Fachwissen und neue Techniken verspricht, wird sein Verständnis der Tintenkunst auf den Kopf gestellt. Bei einem Selbstversuch mit den abstrakt anmutenden Motiven möchte er es genau wissen und stößt damit nichts ahnend eine Kette von Ereignissen an, die Trauer, Leid und aggressive Wesenheiten mit sich bringt.

Celia Sand and her best friend, Anya Burtoni, are inklings for the esteemed religion of Profeta. Using magic, they tattoo followers with beautiful images that represent the Divine's will and guide the actions of the recipients. But 10 years into their servitude Celia and Anya know the truth: Profeta is built on lies, the tattooed orders strip away freedom, and the revered temple is actually a brutal prison. Their opportunity to escape arrives with the Rabble Mob, a traveling theater troupe. But they're being followed: The Divine they never believed in is very real - and very angry.

Celia Sand faced Diavala and won, using ink magic to destroy the corrupt religion of Profeta that tormented her for a decade. But winning came with a cost. Now Celia is plagued with guilt over her role in the death of her best friend. When she discovers that Diavala is still very much alive and threatening Griffin, the now-infamous plague doctor, Celia is desperate not to lose another person she loves to the deity's wrath. The key to destroying Diavala may lie with Halycon Ronnea, the only other person to have faced Diavala and survived. But Halcyon is dangerous.
