In the shadowed heart of 17th-century France, where superstition bleeds into reality, Elara Vane's silver eyes mark her as an outcast. Orphaned and apprenticed to a village apothecary, she clings to a fragile normalcy.
But when ancient seals shatter, unleashing horrors born of the Seven Deadly Sins, Elara inherits a terrifying legacy from her grandmother: she is the last Keeper.
A cryptic journal reveals the truth - the night-stalkers terrorizing the countryside are cursed nobles, monstrous embodiments of Pride, Greed, Lust, and more.
Only Elara, bound by her bloodline, can seal them away again. But the key lies in their Icons: shattered relics tied to their human downfall.
Driven by duty and hunted by beasts who recognize her lineage, Elara embarks on a perilous quest across a plague-ravaged Europe. With Gabriel, a cynical ex-soldier scarred by his encounter with Wrath, she navigates decaying châteaus, toxic swamps, and forgotten crypts.
She must outwit a dragon hoarding gold, resist a siren's deadly allure, and face the bloated horror of Gluttony. Each Icon claimed reveals a fragment of the beasts' tragic past-and a chilling connection to her blood.
As the final confrontation looms at the sacred ruins where the curse began, Elara discovers the Keeper's terrible price. Victory demands more than courage; it requires an eternal sacrifice.
Can she pay the cost to bind the Sins and save a world that fears her, even if it means becoming a silent guardian, forever watching from the twilight realm?
A haunting tale of cursed blood, monstrous sins, and the eternal vigil of the silver-eyed girl.
"With bloodied wings do those who want to make things right carry themselves and yet others instead only see the wrongs they believe them to be."
In a world where creatures from nightmares roam, sixteen year old Akari Hana fights in order to keep humans like herself safe. Many years ago, a cataclysm occurred where the seven deadly sins and the seven heavenly virtues were born into human forms. Upon this, creatures of nightmares were also born out of the cataclysm. The seven sins and virtues then fought in order to keep the balance in the world. Over time, the world seemed to reach more of a balance. Now, the sins and virtues practice their crafts in an academy deep in a mystical jungle below the regular realm of the human world. This is where the prodigious Akari Hana has trained her entire life to fight alongside the sins and virtues to keep her world safe from the creatures that keep coming back.
However, recently more creatures have been spawning and Akari has been tasked with finding out why. While being tasked with this quest, Akari stumbles upon a rather pressing dilemma. Shall she execute a rather dangerous and peculiar creature she comes across or will she enlist his help in saving the world? After all, humans can be monsters too.
