scars of magic ⸺ 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬

❝under their armor is a shining beacon of hope❞

A realm still suffering the aftermath of the original demon invasion. A world splintered from the core. A people frightened of the monsters that would one day rule their lands. A life ostracized from society. A gift that may save the world.

A prodigy killer, a black market dealer, a ruthless thief, an imprisoned criminal, and a traumatized civilian all have a vengeance against the soulless demons that stormed their world years ago. The five magic-wielders still feel the consequences of the fight against survival and oppression, a fight that left them all with a determination to kill the beasts. Disgraced, disowned, and abandoned, they have no one but themselves to care for against the returning threat of another demon invasion, but this time, the Demon Queen leads the fight and aims to destroy the entire Iaecaean government and the realm of Myiraz. While the government is violently trying to cover up the signs of the monsters crossing through the worlds, the misfits travel between the three Sister Cities and try to staunch the growing threat. But their bravery aside, they are still criminals at heart. And yet there is no one else to trust.

And when you have no one to trust, you turn to the most unlikely of people.

But people don't look to murderers and thieves to save them.
