A Grim, Gritty Story of Magic and The Power of Choice

This first look immediately hooks me! As a story about the power to protect oneself by any means possible, it harnesses uneasiness, retribution, and fear as a sword, slicing into the things that frighten us in today's society. I want to know more about these characters and this world- I want to jump into their minds and discover their fears, desires, and memories. I'm excited to see where this story goes!
