"Revolution is the people's will for a better tomorrow."

When the Animus crawled out from underneath Earth's crust, brave souls were granted godlike powers to fight them. Custodians: idols, soldiers, heroes, legends. Revered by the masses, shunned by the few, and conscripted to be the defenders of humanity against the Animus in an endless conflict. A life of misery, despair, loneliness, and heartache; such is the inexorable fate of a Custodian.

Eris Hayes tries not to be discontent with her lot in life, but that's difficult when she's still reeling from the Animus Invasion that saw fit to ruin her. Now, six months later, her family is shattered, her best friend won't give her the time of the day, and every day is a struggle to survive. The mundanity of her life is a disease. However, salvation comes in the form of a rogue Custodian skulking in an alleyway while carrying a missile launcher. What starts off as a desire to help someone quickly spirals out of control, and Eris finds herself plunged into a completely different world. A decades-old conspiracy, grudges that run deep, and visitors from beyond the stars make the Animus the least of her worries.

Eris thought that being a Custodian meant basking in the public's adoration and vanquishing evil, but she soon learns that evil comes in all different shapes and sizes. And sometimes, in order to cleanse the world, you have to get your hands dirty. Eris wanted to be a hero, but first and foremost, she wanted to save people. Those two wishes aren't able to coexist.

What can a hero do in a world designed to breed evil?
