The cosmos demands balance. When man breaks the law of Sufficiency, the Consegrue arrives. Greed is the ancient, gaunt enforcer, and his purpose is to strip the soul bare. He hunts Arthur Valen, a financial titan whose insatiable hoarding has starved millions. Greed wields no weapons; his power makes gold worthless and wealth a burdensome joke. But as he delivers judgment, the enforcer discovers that the vice enclipse he embodies is beginning to consume him in a world defined by wanting. The true price of acquisition is the soul itself.
