Premise
Circe Grimmwood is a thirteen year old girl who was raised in Oakland, California as an unwanted child by her abusive foster family and is mistreated by society who classifies her as a "freak" or a "devil child", due to her possessing unique magical powers and her eye color. She gets spirited away by a being known as Gauss, to the land of Onorath, a medieval Europe-inspired dark fantasy dimension where its living consists of Elves, Demons, Humans and Monsters. Left without much of a choice, Circe must now make a new life for herself in order to survive, unaware of the fantastic and terrifying consequences of her own decision. Two years later, Circe had turned herself into a stone cold killing machine, following her own morals and rules and her brutal and merciless kills gave her the name "The Black Death" who wherever she goes, the depths of hell follows. Meanwhile, a mysterious dark lord plots from the shadows.
