Forbidden Being

What is the Devil without death?

Death seemed like a fitting outcome for many souls living in the Oasis. However, when the vampire mutant Ana met Geda, the desire to face his inevitable fate changed. Unwillingly reunited with the spirit of his damnation, Ana is forced to maneuver through the creases of power to survive.

In Constantinople, the last remaining human colony, known only as "The Oasis", Ana must face the consequences of his past, while preparing the next generation of warriors for the Royal War. As a fugitive, Ana must use his skills to manipulate the faction overlords, all while secretly pivoting the political game to secure the future of humanity, preventing the past from repeating, and ultimately, keeping Geda from meeting an untimely demise.

Unthinkable alliances are formed. Unpredictable enemies are fought. After lifetimes of undivided devotion, one unanswered question remains, is God the one to blame?
