Kione's world involved only two components: disease and death. But, to her delight, it erupted to include war, power, and best of all, revenge.
Her inconsequential life under the perverted monarchy of the Eastern Empire mirrored that of the Dark Ages, with doctors who were synonymously morticians and a Church whose sole purpose was to empty the pockets of the lower class.
Born in a time when the soil was watered by the blood of the weak and the air polluted by the burning bodies of her neighbors, Kione, alongside her fellow orphans, was forced to live under Father, the local, tyrannical priest. Victimized for most of her life by Father and bound to her brothers, Brutus and Judas, by their selfishness, she is enslaved by her loyalty and self-sacrificing nature.
But when faced with the consequences of another's past, Kione is propelled into a life of bitterness and innumerable torments, in which she sheds her benevolent habits and is sustained by both her crusade for vengeance and her propensity for absolute chaos.
But when bone and steel clash, and justice and vengeance dictate actions, where will Kione stand?
