On the eve of her 16th birthday, Candle Enys discovers her brother has sold her soul to a demon. Neglected, unloved, and terrified for her life, Candle flees her family to take her chances in the wild mountains. There in the gloaming, she wanders, stalked by shades and monsters who prowl the half-light, hunting for bodies to steal. It is only with the kingdom's army of criminal outcasts that Candle finds solace, however short-lived. Unfortunately for her, in a land where violence is the ultimate sin, war is about to erupt. Foul winds blow, and they reek of death and black powder. Invaders with airships and cannons have arrived on the shores, laying waste to all who stand against their conquest. With no kin, no magic, and no soul, will Candle find her wings in time to save her home? Or will the Twilight Kingdom fade to dusk? A dark fantasy with steampunk and horror elements. Trigger warnings for emotional abuse, some gore.
