In the shadow of the Kadani Empire, where magic is tightly controlled and corruption runs deep, five unlikely individuals find their fates converging on Haven's Rest—a city where freedom and danger walk hand in hand. SERA, a village healer, wakes with blood on her hands and a voice in her head. KERSHER, a legendary assassin three centuries dead, has been bound to her body through forbidden magic, forcing two strangers to share one life in a reluctant partnership that neither wanted. As they hunt the cultists responsible for their binding, they stumble upon conspiracies as their differing views becomes a complete disaster that'll create ripples in the Empire. JEZ, a professional monster hunter and arena champion, is changing in ways she refuses to acknowledge. Her reflexes are too sharp, her senses too keen, and her hunger for something beyond food grows with each passing day. When she encounters FAIN, a man who treats death as a temporary inconvenience, her hunt for monsters becomes a search for answers about what she's becoming. TESH, a scholarly Meticari with an ancient blade that whispers secrets, investigates a mysterious Color Plague spreading throughout the Empire. His research leads him to Haven's Rest and Lady Blackwood, whose growing collection of ancient knowledge points to dark truths about the Empire's past and his own people's history. STEIN, a zealous knight of the Morning Court, commits a terrible atrocity in the name of justice. When his sister ARABELLA, an empath with the rare ability to read emotions, helps him escape execution, they flee to Haven's Rest and into the arms of RAVEN, a noblewoman running an underground network for those persecuted by the Empire. As Haven's Rest boils with cultist activity, Imperial investigations, and ancient color magic resurfacing, these damaged souls will be forced to confront not only their own demons but the larger forces threatening to tear the Empire apart. The Morning God's awakening looms, the Color Plague spreads, and the dawn of a new age approaches—one written in the blood of sinners and saints alike. In a world where bad luck become the right luck, and good intentions pave roads to hell, sometimes the only heroes left are the damned. *New episodes weekly*
