Four mercenaries are thrust into a conflict as warring nations try to steal the temples of Erindarus. Their powers are unmatched on the field by any soldier or mage of the factions of Mer sula Monde. The cost of these powers is a mystery that only their handler, the professor knows. They know that it came at great price, but is it more than they are more than they willing to pay for in the end?
With their two associates, a pair of star-crossed lovers and a commander with a shadowy past, they strive to prove that they are just as human as the rest if a little bent on madness. With an unshakable resolve and the hidden motives of those in high places, they are sent across the lands as the last ditch effort to bring things into equilibrium with no conscience to follow, but the orders of the professor that had created them.
As the world reaches the precipice of the abyss that holds it together, they are met with an unshakable realization, that the last notes that are heard will most likely be there own.

Blood and Ashes
In a world where darkness reigns and monsters rule, humanity's survival depends on those with power. A decade ago, the Earth fell to horrific creatures-beasts that tore apart cities and destroyed what remained of civilization. In the aftermath, society fractured into four groups, each shaped by its beliefs and the supernatural abilities that arose in response to the terror. Angels heal the wounded but at the cost of their vitality. Demons wage war on the monsters, fueled by their thirst for human blood. Rare and feared devils wield blood magic that allows them to control the essence of life itself, but they must feast on monster blood to regain their strength. And then there are the God-powered-a mysterious few who possess elemental abilities that could hold the key to ending the chaos but are believed to be little more than a myth. Emery, a quiet college student, lives in the shadows of this broken world. Though she possesses the powers of a Devil, she keeps her identity hidden, unwilling to draw attention. Her days are spent in isolation, away from the chaos, with only her books and a few trusted friends to keep her company. But when whispers of a possible God-powered emerge, Emery is thrust into a deadly race. If she can find them, the union of the Devil and God could be the world's only chance at survival. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks in every corner. Demons are unpredictable, Angels are slowly losing their strength, and the Devils grow increasingly detached from humanity, fueled by the monster blood they consume. As the hunt for the last hope intensifies, Emery must navigate a world of shifting allegiances, hidden agendas, and monsters that are not always what they seem. In this dystopian future, where fear and power rule, Emery will have to decide if saving the world is worth the cost of her humanity.
