“I can’t take off these glasses to read you,” Junho said, his voice low, as if confessing a wound. “And without them… I don’t know what you really feel. About me.” His gaze didn’t waver. “Do you think I’m a monster? A freak? Something dangerous?” A breath passed. “Just tell me. If that’s how you see me… then maybe I can finally stop looking for you.” Seri didn’t flinch. “I wasn’t afraid of you,” she said. “Not when I’ve already stared down the ugliest parts of this world. Greed. Betrayal. People who smile while stabbing you in the back. People who trade lives like coins.” Her voice stayed steady. “That’s fear.” Another beat of silence. Then she looked at him, expression unreadable but calm. “But you?” She gave a small shrug. “You just read memories.”

In the nation of Arcanis, the Church rules with an iron creed--only those it deems worthy may wield sorcery by conversing with the Law, the divine order of all things. Any other who dare speak to it are branded as heretics and executed. In the town of Orrinwick, Alexandra Vale lives with her family--beloved and faithful. But they do not serve the Church. They are member of the True Faithful--a secretive organization that worships the Lord like the Church but it does not opress others. Instead, it believes that sorcery is a blessing meant for all, and they dream of overthrowing the Church’s oppressive rule so that every person may be able to experience conversing with the divine word of the Lord. Alexandra's family dreamt the same. But dreams shatter. And so, when the Inquisitors arrive to hunt Alexandra and her family down, her parents sacrifice themselves to give the two siblings a chance at escape. But that was not the end of it.

In the city of Belmire, Elijah Graceford is bored with his life as a noble, with nothing exciting or thrilling enough. As he struggles with constant blackouts and boredom, an insatiable void whispers in his mind to hunt for prey every day. As all the characters in the play wrestle with haunting pasts and an unknown future, tensions between nations reach their peak and prophecies are fulfilled. *** Set in a world that has reached the end of its Medieval Era and is faced with the discovery of steam machinery, follow Alexandra and many other complex characters on a journey full of tragedy and despair, guilt and regret, discovery and growth, perhaps a bit of romance and happiness, but most importantly--tons of Chaos.

At the young age of fifteen, Alexander awakens to the corpse of his murdered brother, and his own death imminent. He is saved by Lord Lucian Darkster, a brilliant, charismatic king with a smile like salvation—and an agenda steeped in blood. Lord Lucian Darkster doesn’t rescue Alexander out of kindness. He sees the boy’s rage, his pain, his potential. Not as a son. As a weapon. Alexander becomes the perfect instrument of conquest. But each victory costs him more of his soul. He is forced into dastardly acts all for Lord Lucian Darkster’s dream to crown himself Emperor. Yet Lord Lucian’s dream hides something older, darker, divine. Unknowingly, Alexander helps him bring forth a being one can only call evil incarnate. Lord Lucian never wanted a throne. He wants rebirth. Chaos. Godhood.

Everything he’s ever known, every victory, every loss, every bond, every betrayal, was part of Lucian’s design. He was merely a pawn in a game he never even knew existed. He sets out for his revenge and no god or man will stop him.
