The Kingdoms of Ruin

Humanity once thrived under the blessing of magic—a sacred gift bestowed by witches to guide and sustain civilization. But that era has passed. The rise of the scientific Gear Expansion rendered both magic and its bearers obsolete. Determined to purge the world of what it deemed a corrupting influence, the mighty Redia Empire launched a merciless crusade to annihilate every witch in existence. Adonis was just a child when the persecution began, serving as the apprentice to a witch he cherished above all else. When she falls to the empire's cruelty, Adonis swears an oath of vengeance. And with the wrath of this sorcerer unleashed, rivers of blood are certain to follow.
