Cadence Nardini is an eighteen year old human girl who lives in the world of Dodrore: a world mostly inhabited by non-human beings. Being a human puts Cadence at a natural disadvantage, in the way that she is at the bottom of the food chain, and has no magical abilities to help fend for herself in the world of the supernatural. However, despite all that, she has managed to work her way up into the police force of Skeusil. To protect her country, and any within the continental borders that requested assistance, was her job.
One day, Cadence receives a letter that informs her of a case in one of the neighboring countries. What makes this request odd is that the country of Astrine has been completely silent since the fall of their royal family three years ago. Many thought that it simply wasn't inhabited anymore; that perhaps the people fled to other countries and left the landscape to die. But someone had to have written and sent the letter, asking for assistance with recountings of murders, and a species called Soul Stealers that Cadence has never heard of.
This human quickly finds out that this case will take a lot more than what she had initially expected. So with the help of her friend, Michael, and a witty siren; they set out to discover the truth behind all these murders. But at what cost will the truth unfold?
