The Gods of the Aztecs have fallen, replaced by an altogether more earthbound regime of metal and cogs. And those gods who remain are being scourged.

There are a variety of perspectives – the god, the Hierarch who carries out the scourge, the boy, the mother – all of whom have a story to tell. And finally, another perspective.
