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.

Rise Of The Outcasts

Darryl Jones walked the familiar streets of the Eclipse District, his tall frame casting long shadows under the dim streetlights. The slums were alive with activity despite the late hour. Vendors were closing up their stalls, and children played games in the alleys. Darryl's rugged features softened as he greeted the residents, his hazel eyes reflecting the lights of the district.

"Yo, Darryl! How's it going?" shouted a shopkeeper from across the street.

"Hey, what's good, man? Just making sure y'all safe," Darryl replied, his voice casual and friendly.

He stopped by Mrs. Johnson's food cart, where the aroma of freshly cooked meals filled the air. "Darryl, honey, you want some of this stew? It's your favorite," she offered, a warm smile on her face.

"Ah, Mrs. J, you spoil me. But yeah, I'll take a bowl. Thanks," Darryl said, his tone affectionate as he accepted the food. He took a moment to savor the taste, his mind drifting back to his own past.
