A Day of Breath

A century ago, a cult attempted to open a rift to the demon realm and summon the banished demon god Istral. Before they could succeed, the cult was defeated by holy magical beings called sibyls, and the cult’s dark magic was hidden away. One day, the rift appeared in the small kingdom of Niawa, and this time only one sibyl arrived to help. No members of the cult were found and a bloody war against demons that escaped from the rift raged on until the sibyl called on the first Champion: a warrior given magic strength, then sent alone to keep the demons at bay.

Oly is the longest-living champion, now in her tenth year of guarding Niawa. Refusing to return home, she clings to her calling, stemming from her troubled childhood. But Oly’s powers are fading, and in order to continue her duty, she needs to find a way to get them back, and fast. Despite her fears, she finally travels home for the Day of Breath, the one day a year demons don’t emerge from the rift.

Disaster strikes when a new parasitic demon somehow spreads throughout Niawa. Amidst the bloodshed, Oly must find a way to face her weakening state and confront the crumbling of her beliefs before the Day of Breath ends and demons take over her world.
