The Deacon's religious state persecutes mutants and unbelievers while presenting the vanished Jon Shannow as a saint of its violent order. When a congregation is murdered and the killers are hunted down by a lone rider, rumours spread that the Jerusalem Man has returned.

Shannow must oppose followers who have turned his reputation into an instrument of tyranny. His struggle against the Deacon also exposes a darker threat from beyond the world, forcing him to confront fanaticism, false memory and a godlike enemy that feeds on the destruction of entire realities.
