"A darkness lurks upon the horizon. 

War is coming."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lyra the orphan is a no good thief living in a corrupt port city on the edge of the human realm, Homminum. She spends her days skimming the pockets of unsuspecting market goers, and her nights protecting the one person in life she's ever loved.

All Lyra wants is a quiet life, a safe life. For her and her young charge. All Lyra wants is a life were she doesn't have to worry about her past; or the dark secrets that lurk therein. However, fate has a funny way of collecting on old debts, and the past won't stay buried forever.  

After a chance encounter with one of the creatures she's hated her whole life, a Fae, Lyra is quickly sucked into a world of magic, and war. 

A world where she might very well be the key to her worlds survival. Or its doom.
