Needle Rain

Samos, Heloise, and Thom: Fate has caught them in her web and the road to their future will be paved with the bones of people these three will wrong.

HELOISE: A girl barely into womanhood, she learns the violent trade of the debt collector as one of her uncle’s Soldiers of Money. When her first command leads to the death of her comrades and an innocent, she is devastated. Grieving, she is forced to touch the world of ghosts and one of them wants her soul.

SAMOS: Destined to be one of the Imperator’s feared Immolator warriors, when faced with a choice that will lose him his wife-to-be, he instead chooses to become a traitor.

THOM: A needle master addicted to the séance drug, Somm. The drug is his weakness and the stone around his neck. Through Somm, he loses everyone he ever cared for.

To redeem themselves they must go their separate journeys, wrestle with their fates, and together kill a man who has waited a hundred years to live again.
