In the flawless society of the Via Sancta, magic flows through intricate tattoos etched into the skin, fostering harmony and suppressing base urges—greed, lust, anger.
But sometimes the marks turn against you, twisting the mind and driving their bearer to madness.
Alexei Bryce tracks these deviants for the Church, all while secretly searching for the dark mage who destroyed his brother. His hunt leads him to Kasia Novak, a cartomancer whose gifts conceal far more than she reveals. The cards whisper of a destiny entwined in love—but only if they can survive the deadly path ahead.
The same dark mage now stalks the city wards, hunting Kasia with lethal intent. Alexei once faced the nightmage Malach on opposite sides of a brutal civil war. Though the Church claims victory, the war’s shadows linger, and Alexei will soon realize that even faith’s triumph over the darkest corners of the human soul is precariously fragile.
