It is early 1918 in the world of Ethera. Magical creatures, powerful dragons and innovative humans occupy the planet trying to keep the peace during a new age of engineering.

The story follows the young 21-year-old Lumi as she runs into The Zeta Crew: A group of adventures that get paid to hunt rogue magical creatures and sometimes capture people.

"The Steel Seraph" is about comradery, betrayal, trust and most importantly, connections! Connections with friends, family, romantic interests and connections with people you never thought to connect with.

All this combined with cool fantasy stuff!
