The ghetto of Crikwood is not for the fainthearted. The Lightbender is not fainthearted. The ghetto nourishes his soul with its vibrant culture and eternal chaos.

She is a soul without a body, a body without a soul. Together, they dredge up clues from a painful past that shapes their destinies in ways they are yet to comprehend.
