In a world where the supernatural hides from humanity behind a veil, mages control everything from the shadows, and monsters run rampant, Outcasts, beings rejected by both the human and supernatural worlds with the ability to nullify magic, stand alone as the last line of defense against the dark forces that threaten a world they no longer belong in.

Constantine St. John, an average college student, has his life turned inside out when he awakens as an Outcast on his 21st birthday. Now, he has to navigate this new world that despises him and his kind. Together with his new allies, the assassin Kento Salvatore and the firebrand Jane Winchester, they undertake a perilous journey to Eden, the City of Origin, to take back control of their fate and, maybe, give the Outcasts a place to belong in.

Myra Hindley sat at a dimly lit corner table in Brady's Inn, the air thick with the scent of stale ale and the low hum of murmured conversations. She glanced around, her eyes landing on Ian Brady, the inn's owner, who was busy wiping down the bar. Of course, she knew him as Lucius, the mastermind behind their operation, hiding in plain sight.

Lucius, noticing her gaze, approached her table with a practiced smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. He sat down across from her, his demeanor shifting to one of intense focus. "Myra, any progress with Edwin?"

Myra nodded, her expression serious. "He just left. He's falling for me, just as planned. His trust in me grows stronger by the day."

Lucius leaned back, a hint of satisfaction playing on his lips. "Good. We need his family on our side. The Outcasts won't know what hit them."
