In the world of Lycania, nobody is safe unless you're born into wealth. The rich stay indoors with walls of steel while the outside contains darkness and death, but as the ever growing evil spreads within the people of rags and misfortune, the barriers of protection degrade.
Ever since Jennia Withers was young, her caregiver Maria had been preparing her for the outside world, knowing the barriers that held their house safe would vanish. And as soon as she hits 18, it does. No longer would Jennia peek out the window through the curtains to admire the breeze between dead leaves in trees with her heart beating ferociously when a creature of death walked by. She'd be forced into it without warning and given a fate the world Lycania had been waiting for.
