Saint City

Selene moves through a city that never fully rests, where magic threads through the mundane like a chalk line drawn on rain-soaked pavement. She is no stranger to debts neither owed nor understood, and tonight the city’s quiet requires a stronger resolve than fear. A chance encounter with a wounded stranger pulls her toward a web of old loyalties, long-buried secrets, and a rival faction with a taste for control. As the streets spiral into a conspiracy that uses personal longing as its lever, Selene must decide what she will sacrifice to keep the people she cares about from being swallowed by the very power she once trusted. Every alley holds a memory, every whisper a lie, and every decision edges her closer to a line she swore she’d never cross. In the end, salvation will demand a price, and Selene is learning what she’s willing to pay to keep the city breathing.
