Red beams of light cut across the dark room, each strobe cold enough to freeze one's blood in its stream yet hot enough to burn through steel. Sharp enough to tear its way through one's flesh. It guarded something, something that people would die for. Some had slaughtered its human guardians in attempt to claim it for themselves, though that some had died for the same cause, for its protectors were fierce. For this was not something that could simply slip into the hands of a simple thief. It was too delicate, too fragile, yet far too powerful. Sitting in the very middle of the dark room was the most powerful force known to all of Earth and all life on her surface. The End Of The World. Riots spark, storms roar and blood is spilled. The Wars may have ended, but the lust for power still spreads across the nation, and different faces from different sides reach out to seize it, while others fight to neutralise the hunger. Society relies on Peacemakers to keep order and democracy in their lives, but their will is threatened when a young girl emerges from the flames, and as she grows slowly from girl to woman, the threat of dictatorship or anarchy falls over the nation. The competition for power is brutal, and all sides prepare to draw blood for their cause, but the streets see another storm hanging in the sky, and, if dealt with foolishly, each side's leader could end up claiming their victory with all of the country drowned in blood.

Witches are stealing human bodies. They use them to deceive other humans, to slaughter them, devour them whole. The only way they can die is by fire, and when fire is involved, things burn. With the gods absent and the world ablaze, its up to the witch-slayers to put it out. But it's a losing battle. Gremaud has nothing and wants nothing but the strength to save his burning kingdom from fire. But prophecy follows in the wake of his comrade, the chosen one. Visited by Smoke, a mysterious voice carried by wind, he is warned against his own will, but is left with only envy for his comrade- and hate. The chosen one is Adler, and he's the strongest soldier the Old Dominion has seen since the heroes of old. Adler is also the crown prince, raised safely behind walls by men and women whose only goal was to gain his favor, and his throne. So he's done with glory, comfort, and prophecy. At the end of the world, all he wants is a real friend. The bastard Evane is past his prime, and weak to stop the flames that engulf his homeland. In fact, he's already been burned by fire, and now walks mutilated and hated by the oppressive theocracy which promises equality and peace. But unable to fight and blessed with illegal magic, he's found the only way to put out the fire is to stop fighting with it. The Lamprey is a grimdark horror with graphic themes, including gore, violence, and trauma.
