In the hidden world of the Forbidden Cities, where magic and mystery are unknown, Scarlett and their best friend, Atlas, are more than just the ordinary citizens you see every day.
Scarlett: A feirce and grumpy Shade , Scarlett was thrust into the world of the Lost Cities after an unexpected turn of events. While they slowly adapt to their new life, they can't shake the feeling of loss for their family back in the forbidden cities-a loss that only grows harder to deal with every passing hour. Lost and shameless, Scarlett searches endlessly for something to fill the missing piece in her heart. Mostly a loner, they value one friendship above all else and will stop at nothing to protect them.
Atlas: Is a kind and smart empath and polyglot, a calm and collected presence in the midst of chaos. With a deep connection to all kinds of nature, weather storm or calm, he is a natural complement to Scarlett's sometimes impulsive nature. Though he often prefers to observe before acting, Atlas is a master of strategy and problem-solving. His quiet wisdom and level-headed approach makes him the perfect partner in navigating the often dangerous and complex world of the Lost Cities. Despite their calm exterior, Atlas holds a secret-something from their past that could either be a strength or a weakness in the days to come.
Separately, they try to find their path through the lost cities, slowly concluding, that the only way to understand the foreign cities, is together, just like they always did in their childhood.
