Forbidden Roses and Poisoned Thorns

Magic is outlawed in Padaero, but it still exists. There are a few who are born with the power to manipulate it, while others have the potential, but just can't control it. These unlucky souls are still different from the normal folk, and some know that, others don't. Now, those people are being genetically altered to become deadly assassins, who goals are simple yet complicated: eradicate those who can use the magic they were denied. Add in a population of naturally superstitious people who hate both groups, a few forbidden romances, and a small group of people with evil intentions who could alter the entire situation, you get a continent, and a world, that is in danger of being torn apart at the seams.
