Sins & Virtues

Berlin, July 1942
In the shadows of the Reich, two anomalies exist-men governed not by the laws of the State, but by the relentless tides of the Hepta-Polar cycle.

"Tomorrow they may wrap fishes in it. But I was a star for one whole minute."

To Berlin's high society, Silas Thorne is a man of cold, untouchable wealth. He is the socialite who frequents cabarets and brings women to his bed only to remain hauntingly distracted, his gaze fixed on a ghost only he can see. To the medical files that discarded him, he is an unimportant anomaly-a casualty of a failed experiment. His eyes are a revolving door of sin: the gold of Pride, the crimson of Wrath, and the violet hunger of a Friday he can never satisfy.

"Almost about to drown in the drink, when he fished me out and drowned me in ink."

Hidden behind a false wall of tomato sauce and shadows, Evan Katz lives a life of quiet, desperate Virtue. The undocumented mirror to Silas's curse, Evan practices Temperance and Patience while the world hunts for his blood. He only leaves his sanctuary disguised as a delivery boy, pedaling through war-torn streets with a newsboy cap pulled low.

Their worlds collided on a Tuesday of Searing Crimson. Silas, consumed by Wrath, caught the boy in his disguise and tore the mask away. But instead of violence, Silas found a sobbing boy at his breaking point. In a moment of terrifying confusion, the man of Sins held the boy of Virtues, and the cycle of Berlin's two stars began to fracture.

SINS & VIRTUES
In a city of steel and ink, Silas and Evan must navigate a bond that defies every law of man and God. One is a documented monster; the other is a hidden saint.
