Story
In ages past, so the histories tell us, our ancestors were ruled wisely and well by the Six Masters and their Courts – aided in their task by the magical Shards of Stone that bestowed power upon their holders. Today few Shards remain. The land has fallen into disrepair and lawlessness with the people reverting to a feudal existence, governed by the Brotherhood of Serenity which controls the remaining Shards and their magics with ruthless jealousy. Jaydon Farcast is an orphan, raised by his aunt and uncle, who dreams of becoming a soldier in the service of his Lord Derwain.

Murdered for daring to expose the deeds of the corrupt, Brunhilde Krahe is then snatched from the void of death by the capricious hand of cosmic coincidence. She finds herself reborn into a bizarre world of magic and conspiracy, eldritch knowledge in her brain and cosmic fire burning inside. Krahe copes with her own death the only way she knows how: by continuing her work in the new world. Ruthless mafiosos, unscrupulous politicians, even lowly gangsters—there is more than enough work to be found for an investigator with no qualms towards hyper-violence.

I didn't think retiring to Mexico with my Russian girlfriend would last—turns out I was right. What we didn't expect was that we'd be embroiled in a secret war between Heaven and Hell. Yeah, demons and angels exist, and they're about as powerful and deadly as we've been led to believe. To even the odds a little, the agency has decked me out with an arsenal that takes the best from above and the best from below. And humanity aren't exactly slouches, either. We have occultists–humans capable of bending supernatural creatures to their will.
