"In a world almost entirely stripped of color, the rare scraps of pigment that remain hold tantalizing power. A secretive cult known as the Order would use that power to see color returned to the world through the advent of their chromatic god...but the birth of a god requires bloody sacrifice. An eldritch creature rises, bathing a grey city in angry red. Avidia stands alone against a monster born from his best friend's death!"--

"In a world where all humanity has mutated into strange new forms, Chie is the odd one out. She looks exactly like the humans of ages past. It's because she's an android--but who made her, and why? The answers to those questions might finally be in her grasp, hidden somewhere in the deserted city of Chuudoh. But the Order still has plans for Chie and Avidia, as they prepare another offering, this time to create a deity of cold and bitter blue..."--From publisher's description

A cosmic disaster changed the Earth forever, stripping away every last drop of color from the world.

He soon crosses paths with a very special girl--one who just might hold the key to bringing back what the world has lost.

"THE ADVENT OF THE DIVINE CHROMA. A cosmic disaster erased almost all color from the world, and now the mutated descendants of humanity live in a moody, noir cityscape draped with shades of grey. There is great power hidden in what little color remains, and a secretive cult known as the Order hopes to use that power to awaken their mysterious gods. Standing against them is Avidia, a gun-toting investigator and scientist who works outside the law. If he's to prevail, he'll need more power-which means surviving an incredibly dangerous new experiment, even as the Order moves ahead with the consummation of all their schemes!"--Back cover.

Others, including the cult-like Iodopsy Order, use it for power and control. When an Order assassin draws innocent bystanders into their rivalry, it'll take everything Avidia has to save their lives...and his own!" --provided by publisher.

Alex Bridge is not the usual suspect. The young, recently married, pregnant musician has been accused of embezzling millions of dollars from her employer, a giant media conglomerate.
