The Rifter Vol. 2: Witches' Blood

Once, Kahlil was a divine assassin, tasked with killing a god to protect his holy order. But the Rifter escaped through the Great Gates.
When Kahlil attempts to follow him, he is left injured and uncertain of his place in a world he no longer recognizes as his own.
Now, just when Kahlil has forged a new life for himself, the Rifter reappears as a powerful leader at the center of an assassination plot. And, ironically, Kahlil finds himself tasked with saving the man who destroyed his world.
