The Prior Life was a dream and the Hereafter will right all wrongs. But the Intermediary Journey is a time of toil and strife.
Clew has spent lifetimes guiding souls through the Intermediary Journey, but his congregation is threatened when Jolene, a representative of the Murphy Corporation, blackmails him into a new ministry on the desolate planet of Rodinia.
Tasked with bringing spiritual solace to a planet built on forced labor, Clew must adapt his doctrine to the demands of his new employers. When the fallout of his ministry becomes undeniable, Clew's doctrines are put to the ultimate test: Can he truly guide a lost people to peace, or is he merely a pawn in a grander scheme?
