The circus of life

Scarlett was born to the rhythm of a traveling circus,a life of forced smiles, perfect pirouettes, and a hollow heart. In life, she was a master of three things: the breathtaking grace of the aerial silks, dance and the clinical precision of a taxidermist's blade. Behind a mask of polite elegance, she was a predator who viewed emotions as nothing more than a script to be recited.

​When a fatal "curtain call" drops her into the crimson grime of Hell, Scarlett finds herself in a world where souls are the ultimate currency and power is bought in blood. Armed with nothing but her wits and an uncanny ability to mimic the very humanity she lacks, she begins to navigate the hierarchy of Pentagram City.

​But in a realm governed by chaos, her calculated silence catches the eye of the most dangerous showman in history: Alastor, the Radio Demon. He finds her lack of a "true" soul fascinating; she finds his theatrics an amusing challenge. In a game of manipulation where both players refuse to lose, Scarlett must decide if she's willing to sign her life away-or if she'll weave a web strong enough to trap the stag himself.
