What does it mean to have faith? And what does it take to justify that faith?
As an apprentice sculptor, Lior was content to simply carry out his master’s orders and make a living. But upon seeing the painting of Tornara, a so-called “heretic goddess”, he finds himself enamored with the deity. His passion soon puts him at odds with his master, resulting in his expulsion from the workshop.
After discovering the rest of the town shuns him for being “cursed” by the forgotten god, Lior then departs in search of a land where he can freely share Tornara’s beauty. This journey leads Lior to encounter kindred souls who help him understand there may be more to his devotion than a simple fascination. Yet such a deviant faith does not go unnoticed, and the consequences will challenge the bond between sculptor and Goddess.

The Saccharums, a family of vampires who prided themselves on supping only upon the blood of criminals, regardless of if they deserved death.
The Roderescus, a clan of hunters who slew in the name of order, willfully ignoring the possibility of justice behind a vampire's actions.
In centuries past, the two were embroiled in a long, bitter conflict, but after a chance encounter proved their convictions were not incompatible, they formed a partnership. Now, generations later, the Saccharums and Roderescus have decided to come together as one through the marriage of their respective heirs—with the caveat that those heirs must prove themselves deserving of the honor.
To meet such a challenge, Sofia Saccharum has taken up Confession, the ancient stake-driver formerly wielded by her prestigious uncle and styled herself as the bounty-hunting Siege Princess. With her fiancé Marcel Roderescu setting the stage for their targets, Sofia will battle her foes with elegance and bombast, transforming each hunt into a performance worthy of theatre.

But with the help of the foul-mouthed fallen net idol Bosa, she’ll brave the perils of inflated rent, bizarre clients, and the inconsistent gig economy—all in the name of becoming the world’s greatest—and first—demon healer!
Join Nabby and Bosa as they do their best to make ends meet in a world of fantastic adventures and unfortunate realities. With dry wit, dirty jokes, and some heartfelt honesty, Demon Healer Naberius asks but one question: how do you become a renowned healer when you're only able to use dark magic?
