What is the worth of a soul? That is the question that the Magistrates often try to answer. Faced with criminals, low life's and the undesirables, they weigh their actions against their sins and enact a fitting punishment.
It is hardly ever fair.
Solus, a young man who stays out of trouble yet always ends up in the thick of it, has been put on trial. His chances are slim, his reputation proceeds him. He is the Accursed Specter, he is an undesirable, a criminal, a low life. He feels little empathy towards the Magistrates, and likewise, they feel nothing for him.
He is a threat, a plague. They are the solution, the cure.
But in a system that is at war with itself, justice is often forgotten about. And Solus knows this, better than most. Better than he knows.

Waiting for Evangeline (Godling: Scions of Order and Chaos #0)
When your soul is too balanced to judge... the gods send you back to tip the scale! Creation and Destruction. Order and Chaos. Two forces eternal, twin truths of the Universe. They call themselves opposites, yet one cannot exist without the other - and in the realm of mortality, neither may act without agents. Enter the Nullis. Souls perfectly balanced.

In their stillness lies potential - coveted by both sides, claimed by divine hands, and cast once more into life. This is the story of one such soul. Torn from the Soul's Abyss and touched by gods, he is reborn into a strange land at the foot of a mountain that scrapes the sky. He has no name, no past, and no clear future. The others call him simply: Nullis. Before him lies a proving - a gauntlet of magic, monsters, and mystery where power reigns and alignment reveals itself in every choice. Will Nullis ascend and earn true rebirth in the land of the living? Or will he fall once more into the Abyss... nameless, forgotten, and unmade?

In a world where justice is nothing more than a fading memory and second chances are rare as gold, can a man molded by violence ever transform into a hero?

My vision blurred by my tears "N-no p-please s-stop this" He bend down next to my ear "Look at you, trembling like a good girl" "s-stop this p-please". I begged only to hear his chuckle.
