If life were chivalry, would not death be better? A nameless warrior from a remote and obscure sect -- one who prided himself on living and dying by the teachings of the monks -- awakens one day to discover he has been appointed Vice Cult Leader of the Demonic Cult. The irony is not lost on him: a man devoted to righteousness now holds the second-highest position in the most feared organization in the martial world. The Demonic Cult is not what the orthodox sects claim. Behind the terrifying reputation lies a complex society of outcasts, rebels, and people who were rejected by the 'righteous' world. The Vice Cult Leader discovers that his monastic training -- discipline, compassion, and an unwavering moral compass -- is exactly what the cult needs to survive the coming storm of orthodox aggression. As he navigates the politics of the Demonic Cult, the warrior-monk must reconcile his peaceful beliefs with the violent realities of his position. The orthodox sects that despise the cult want it destroyed. The cult members who distrust his righteousness want him replaced. And the woman at the heart of the cult -- the Cult Leader herself -- wants something he is not sure he can give. The Vice Cult Leader who entered the position as a joke becomes the one person holding the demonic world together.
