Known only as the Owl, a notorious criminal with allegiances to none but herself, she searches for answers from the worst the city has to offer.

When her search leads to a series of magical disturbances and a girl who was supposed to be dead, Athira's world of solitude shatters. Predictions from the lost Colour mark her friend a saviour, and as an ancient horror begins to rise, Athira starts to wonder who she should have been hunting all these years.
