"Normal."
It is the one thing Victor Roberts has spent his entire life chasing.
A clinical psychologist begins wearing a mask, believing he is the one who needs fixing.
Can he live a normal life alongside his new clinic family, simply doing his job?
If only he could detach himself from his past, perhaps he could finally become the person he longs to be.
However, as Victor clings to his masked identity, the masks of the people around him begin to fall apart, one by one.
He is drawn into the affairs of Estrea—a nation that has survived centuries of war. Beneath its soil lie rumoured resources powerful enough to tempt nations, cults, monarchies, and secret organizations alike.
Before he knows it, he finds himself standing before fanatics, shadow organizations, dictators, royalty, and truths no ordinary man was ever meant to witness.
The further he walks in search of a normal life...
the stranger reality becomes.
And at the end of that road—
waiting at the edge of the world—
is CANDA.
