Jace and his allies of the Gatewatch have recieved new information on the biggest threat to the multiverse they've encountered: Nicol Bolas. The only way to get in for the killing blow is to participate in the Trials of the Five Gods, a seriously taken ritual by the residents of Amonkhet and no mundane task. This was written in the middle of Kaladesh standard season.

Jace Beleren is an esteemed assassin of the Execution corps. When one of his kills is stolen by a mysterious organization looking to kill or ruin killers of criminals like him, he is forced to join Liliana, a transfer from France and hunt down the members of this group and kill them off. Meanwhile, larger machinations loom over their heads of what once was.
