Heart hollow, soul void, face blank. With the passings of every day comes longing, confusion, and growing anxiety. Losing a parent is always hard. Losing a parent when your barely five years old? Life shattering. Losing a parent and learning the sinister truth of your conception? Nearly enough to kill a man with fear alone. Shadows grow, light dims, Ruby Rose's heart turns hollow.

Now join Jaune Arc Estacado as he embrace his true heritage and show his enemy the true meaning of the word Darkness.
