Justice

She will be the blade to sever the divide.

Nemesis

A goddess tasked with keeping the balance between fortune and misfortune. When Nem thinks for herself, realizing the balance the gods claim is nothing but a manipulation of power, she takes it upon herself to leave their realm and pave her own path in the world of mortals.

She has her own idea of justice.
She has her own path towards the balance she was born to keep.

Working as a bounty hunter in the human world is a cover she's comfortable with, dipping into the darkness that lies beneath the surface of the city and working in secret as a hired assassin. When a client reaches out to her, something doesn't feel right, and she does something she's never done before.
She makes it personal.

Arlo

Living a lie has been his path for the last several years. His past still haunts him and he thought he could escape it, but when a job opportunity brings him back to the city he tried to escape, that past is threatening to destroy the new life he's trying to create.
He's broken.
He trusts no one.
His scars don't just run deep, they cling to the surface where everyone can see them. They judge him. They push him away because he's not what society deems normal. Everyone leaves him in the end, but he clings to a friendship from his life and sees a potential new friendship in a girl that truly looks at him.
Can she be more than just a friend?
Can he finally have everything he ever wanted, or will it all be ripped away from him?
Will the enemy finally catch him and finish what they started all those years ago?
