The Raven Thief

Born of the wastelands, Spheris Arnadel, a young skilled thief, finds himself subject to a twist of fate when he steals a powerful relic and becomes a Bearer — humans gifted with powers from the Gods. As a punishment for his theft, he is cast into an otherworldly realm alongside other Bearers, where he faces off against monstrous beasts and powerful enemies. Yet, in his determination to return to the Continent and save his dying mother, Spheris is hell-bent on surviving the abyssal world. Even if it means giving his body to the Dark God whose powers he had stolen... even if it means losing all of his humanity.

Why?

A whirlwind of thoughts spun through my mind, each more terrifying than the last. Did I share an unknown connection with any of the victims? Is that what someone is showing me? Or am I being set up? Could this be discriminating evidence? I had no idea what to think.

Fumbling, I collapsed into a nearby chair, the world spinning. My head throbbed with the intensity of a thousand unanswered questions. The horrifying images haunted me, and the relentless refrain of "Oh my God" became a desperate plea for escape from this hazy hog of confusion that had ensnared me.

But slowly I began to regain myself and I pulled myself to my feet. I checked the time and it was 8:49. I poured myself a glass of water and chunked it down in one gulp. "Get yourself together," I muttered to myself. "Get it together, Nora. A girl is dead. So is a guy. Their pictures are in your office. What do you do?"
