(future) Saint Heavy, the Devil & the Smoking Gun Saintkiller
Born when a lightning bolt struck an apple tree, B has had her destiny decided for her since the moment she opened her eyes. She is the 1312th Sleepless Arcana. She was born to become an Arcane Saint...the one nobody wants. The Devil. Turns out, being a man-eating, shapeshifting, living curse doesn't earn you many favors. There hasn't been an arcane saint of the Devil in almost 500 years, they just keep dying, overloaded by their own volatile magic. Forget getting to the pilgrimage to be sainted, most of her kind die before the age of two...and none have made it past the age of 22. B has just turned 21 when she meets Hayes for the first time.
Hayes Highwater is a Saintkiller. She was born in a cult, a child soldier, and she has only ever had one goal: to live free. At eleven years old, Hayes met Saint Iron. She killed him in one-on-one combat, became the first person to earn the title of Saintkiller since the Threefold Pact was made...and then she disappeared. Fast forward thirteen years later and the powers that be are giving the notorious criminal a chance to earn her freedom; accompany the Sleepless Arcana on her pilgrimage, see her sainted. If she lives, so do you. As Hayes spends more time with the arcana, she can't help this nagging feeling...have the Sleepless really all been dying under their own weight, or is there something more going on?
