With the Talent of metallurgy, Farah can bend and control metal, making her a skilled thief and assassin tasked with retrieving ancient relics of unimaginable power for the queen. She believes in the queen's vision for a restored kingdom, one relic at a time. When a mysterious girl named Pari, the Voice of the gods, insists that Farah must join forces with Yasher - a charming, reckless card shark who thrives on luck - Farah's world starts to unravel.

Yasher has always relied on his quick wits and strange luck to survive, avoiding deep ties to anyone or anything.
