by Lilthara
The story of two polar opposites. One never had anything, clawing her way out of hell. The other had everything, only to be cast down from heaven. Lilith grew up in the cold, damp walls of a slave syndicate's prison cell. To break the magical surveillance eye burning in her skull, she made a terrifying gamble: she threw her face onto a guard’s blade, shattering the enchanted mark, and through sheer desperation, clawed her way to the surface—escaping into the freezing rain. But even in freedom, the residual magic torments her mind with constant, agonizing noise. Muriel was the prized prodigy of House Vane—until she uncovered her family's dirty ties to the slave trade. Searching for answers, she confronted her mother, only to be brutally disowned. Her noble lineage was revoked, her family's crest was physically scorched down her chest, and she was thrown out of a high tower window into the mud. When Lilith catches the broken noble falling through the storm, skin touches skin—and for the first time in years, the agonizing noise in Lilith’s mind goes completely silent. Together, a runaway slave with a ruined eye and a fallen duelist with a concealed sleeve-wand must navigate the underworld, hunt ancient powers, and tear down the corrupt empire that tried to destroy them.
