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

Constantine strolled through the bustling streets of Central with Shift and Jane by his side. The Azure Half Moon hung overhead, casting a cool, ethereal light over the cobblestone paths lined with quaint shops and vibrant market stalls. Central was a lively blend of old-world charm and modern flair, with historic buildings standing alongside trendy boutiques and cozy cafés.

"So, Constantine, what's on your shopping list today?" Shift asked, her eyes darting from shop to shop.

"Just some essentials. Maybe something to help distract me from everything," Constantine replied, taking a drag from his cigarette.

Jane wrinkled her nose. "Do you really need to smoke right now? It's bad enough with all the stress. Plus it's very unhealthy." she scolded him.

Shift nodded in agreement. "Yeah, Constantine, it's not good for you."

He sighed, flicking ash into a nearby trash can. "It helps me relax."
