Anchor Morningstar owns and operates the Resting Point, a hole-in-the-wall tavern sitting right on the border between life and the afterlife where travelers catch a brief respite before passing through a portal for judgment day. For years, Anchor has lend a kind ear to those desperate souls and has offered words of encouragement as he polishes glasses and serves drinks. All this changes the second Cass stumbles into the bar. Carrying with her a tremendous amount of guilt and remorse, she begs Anchor to let her stay, so he offers her a warm bed and some tender loving care for the night. The outcome is not as expected. In hell, they say that soulmates are real and dangerous. They hold the power to bring someone back from the brink of death or tear their soul in half.

"Our scars don't define us. They are merely way points on our journey of survival. Markers to show us all the hardships we've had to endure. Accepting them is the first step to appreciating how far we've actually come." *~~~* Second chances usually entail some sort of redemption - An opportunity to right ones wrongs... However, redemption is probably the last thing on Cora's mind as she emerges from the shadows with silent inevitability, the moolight glinting off the edge of her blade. Throat slit. Blood gushing, gurgled gasping, a wet thump as the body hits the ground. They never even saw her coming. Redemption... Bah!
