Controlled. Desperate. Working against the clock.
Axel Font has escaped the fate that the corrupt judge had set for him through a metaphorical deal with a demon. Unfortunately for him, that means he needs to track down and stop an actual demon and her contractor, as well as remove some members of the Nexus organisation that seem to have gone rogue. But while he races the clock, mysterious forces are moving behind the scenes, seeking to solve the city's ever-present resource problem through any means. Even if it means reaching for powers that are better left alone. If Axel wants to return to life as a free man, sort out what he feels about the cheerful archeologist, Rhys, and help protect his growing menagerie of adoptive children, he's going to have to complete Nexus' deal... And then stop them himself.
