A REFRESHER FOR KOFAB
CLICK HERE TO SKIP THE RECAP.
In book one, Enosh—the god responsible for the bodily remnants of everything that once lived—had abandoned his divine duty because of mortals’ betrayal. Enraged over the loss of the woman he had once loved and their unborn daughter, he no longer spread rot, refused the dead entry to his kingdom, and sequestered himself away in the Pale Court.
Over the course of two centuries of the god’s absence, the world had fallen into chaos. Forced to weigh down graves—lest the dead would escape and wander—the people across the Æfen lands conjured up their own god, Helfa—letting Enosh be all but forgotten, only spoken about as a wayward creature responsible for their plight.
Without enough bone to sustain his kingdom, the Pale Court slowly crumbled around its distraught master and his soul-bound servant, Orlaigh. Until a woman accidentally stumbled into his kingdom, bringing new life to Enosh’s cold, dead court.
Unaware of Enosh’s divinity and disgusted by the cruelty he cast upon the world, Ada’s only goal was to escape him, so she may weigh her late husband’s grave down. After all, she had disappointed him in life with her barren state—had never given him a child as a woman ought to.
Enosh, however, decided to keep Ada, rousing her flesh, trembling her bone, and turning her snarls to moans with uninvited pleasure. So delighted was he by the entertainment Ada’s impudence offered, he shaped her a collar of bone so she may never escape him.
Chained to his throne, Enosh was certain his little one would remain by his side for eternity. Until his brother, Yarin, showed up uninvited, demanding an age-old debt be fulfilled, which required Enosh to leave his kingdom for the first time in two centuries.
Uneasy about leaving Ada unsupervised in the Pale Court, he decided to take her with him—right after he… twisted her legs.
When Enosh learned about Ada’s guilt over her late husband’s death, he was as much confused about her eagerness to stand by a marriage vow once given as he was impressed by it. So much so, he asked Ada to become his wife, so she may give him the same vow and stand by it with eternal resolve. In exchange, Enosh agreed to spread rot to the children and bring rest to her late husband.
With eternal loneliness banished, certain that his little one would forever return to him, Enosh showed Ada a kinder, more loving side of him. He told her she was never barren, and in time, he had every intention of putting a child in her belly.
Strangely taken by the idea of finally having a child of her own, and encouraged by the change she brought about in Enosh, Ada started to see beyond the mask of the cruel god and found hints of the gentle man beneath. Could she return Enosh to his duty and save the world?
On the day Enosh decided to ride out to stand by his word given, Ada came across Orlaigh acting suspicious with one of the soul-bound corpses the god kept trapped in his throne. Hushed whispers, secrets, perhaps even lies, went between the age-old servant and the father of the woman Enosh had once loved.
When Ada confronted Orlaigh about it, the old woman merely shrugged it off. And so, Ada left the Pale Court with Enosh, who had offered to take her with him so she may see her father.
However, a large force of soldiers came upon them in the forest, separating them. While Enosh was captured and held for torture by High Priest Dekalon, Ada had escaped.
Injured and shaken, Ada decided to hide in a small fisher village with her father until she found a way to return to the Pale Court safely—as she had promised she would. With her father sick and coin sparse, Ada found herself torn. More so when she was late on her bleeding. Convinced that she carried Enosh’s child and overjoyed by it, Ada decided to do whatever she could to return to the Pale Court.
In the meantime, Enosh freed himself from captivity and torture, only to find the Pale Court empty. Ada had not returned as promised. Worse yet, she had gone the opposite way; her flesh and bone filled with joy he could find no justification for, sparking a rage and jealousy in Enosh that shook the earth.
When priests visited the fisher village in search of the woman rumored to have wed and fornicated with the devil responsible for the world’s misery, Ada decided to flee. Her attempt died at the blade of a villager, which he stabbed into Ada’s belly.
