Set in 1300s England, The Devil's Bargain unfolds in the medieval town of Ravenshire, where August Yance, a revered nobleman known for his charity and wisdom, faces a devastating downfall. Accused of causing a catastrophic explosion during a grand festival, August is imprisoned despite his protestations of innocence. As he languishes in the grim Ravenshire dungeon, a mysterious figure named Voltan offers him a desperate bargain: freedom in exchange for embracing a new role as the Devil.

August's transformation into Voltan marks the beginning of a new era of moral ambiguity. His subtle manipulations begin to unravel the fabric of Ravenshire, corrupting its citizens and sowing discord. Amid this turmoil, James Clay, a notorious brigand, finds himself unexpectedly positioned to resist Voltan's influence. As Clay confronts the pervasive corruption, a climactic battle unfolds in the ruins of the town hall, symbolizing the clash between Voltan's dark machinations and Clay's reluctant heroism.

The Devil's Bargain explores themes of morality, redemption, and the profound consequences of choices made in desperation, offering a compelling narrative of transformation and struggle in a town forever changed by a devilish bargain.
