Forged in Darkness. Haunted by Flames. Evangeline Alden has made many mistakes, but this one may prove to be the one that takes her life. After the deal of a lifetime is thrown into her lap, she foolishly locks herself into a contract with a mysterious woman from the Ministry of Affairs. The job was simple. Supply the ministry worker with magical knowledge and expertise to solve a series of missing person cases and get paid for it. However after witnessing the resurrection of a demonic art and the rise of a fiendish cult within the lower class, one thing becomes clear to Eva. This job was anything but simple. All eyes are on her, including those of a Drakien Ambassador that associates himself with brutes more often than royalty. So she must make a choice: save the world from darkness, or allow the ancient evil to swallow it whole.
