In a land where magic is forbidden, an occult experiment victim named Scylla is cast into The Pit for the crime of poverty. Instead of death, she faces the notorious criminal, Evander the Wicked, Destroyer of Worlds. Suddenly struck with the feeling they have met somewhere before, Scylla and Evander team up to discover how sorcery and fate has entwined them. Will this couple discover what happened in a magician's dungeon that gave them powers and why they share a mysterious brand on their arms, or will the Drugai kill them before they get a chance?
