Welcome to the Order. An orphan with nothing to her name beyond her rage, Theodora's only wish to to find freedom from the poorhouse that owns her. Yet her plans are foiled when the Examiners come knocking. They say she is blessed above all, a summoner of untold power. Theodora thinks they're insane, but her beliefs mean nothing in the face of the Citadel. The demons are coming, and her magic may be the only thing capable of ending this ceaseless war. The Citadel is a world of silk and steel, where faith skips hand in hand with treachery and no one speaks their mind. It is a world unsuited to Theodora, but one she must get used to if she doesn't want to be put to death on the King's orders. When Father Gideon - the Black Heathen, Hellwalker, the Lost Priest - offers to train her, Theodora finds herself entangled in tapestry of deceit that could unravel everything in one fell swoop.

For centuries, the small village of Asra has been haunted by a beast of the forest. The beast would come every night and ravish the village. Fifteen years ago, villagers came up with this idea to offer the beast yearly sacrifices of 18 year old virgins. Raven is the village orphan. She is an outcast in the village. She never knew her parents. Her mother was murdered by the villagers and her father is an unknown man. After years of abuse from the villagers she ran away. She went into the deepest part of the forest. There she met the beast. Raven wasn't scared of him. Instead she was intrigued. The beast thought the child was insane. She came every day to see him, chattering about nothing important. Over time he started to warm up to her. Through the years they developed a sort of friendship. But what will the two do when on her eighteenth birthday, the village priest decides that Raven would be the sacrifice for that year? Will the beast kill his friend like he did the others? Or will he free her? ~~~~~~
