First of all, if you've taken the time out of your day to read this, then I thank you from the absolute, bottom of my heart!
A devil with an unknown past, Avarice is a complicated and kind young man. One day, his entire life is turned upside down when he is suddenly exiled from his home.
His story is one of self-discovery and acceptance as he comes to terms with who and what he is. While just on the run, he meets friends to confide in, enemies to challenge him, and a singular, shy girl of faith, who cannot help but see him for what he truly is, a devil with a heart of gold.
But what does his future hold, and can it help him escape from the past he flees from? Or will it instead force him to turn around, and finally confront his demons.
