The criminal-unknown, just as it's motives are. His movement, however, silent as the sea.
After slaughtering victims brutally, this anonymous carves a mark on the body of each of its victims, then vanishing without a who or why. Possibly returning with greater danger, to anyone around them?
Amid the turmoil and twists, they face the unexpected, from being blackmailed by the unknown to being exposed to the corrupt minds of Onyxdale. Everything will be accounted for, but at what cost?
With the fact that nobody can be trusted except each other, how will they overcome their huge differences and past issues to band together against the upper force?
A coming of age tale exploring the bitter taste of growing up, the beauty of friendship and love, all in the midst of terrorizing chaos.
