It had been a sunny day when humanity faced the Breach. Disastrous anomalies rocked the Earth as it came too close to a dark dimension known only as the Dread. Horrific entities called Shadows plagued the cities, feasting on fears. Humanity was left unprepared, outmatched, and bewildered -- until the massive efforts of the Lumena Foundation rose from the darkness to close the Breach. Ten years later, the Foundation has rebuilt the world into a new prosperity. But in the shadows where its light cannot reach lurks the Kraken Syndicate, who's profiteering off a reality-warping drug known as Void destablizes the already thin veil between Earth and the Dread with every dose. Toku and Laila are Voidrunners, a dangerous hobby of delving into the smaller Breaches that still plague the world, one that leads them to an unfortunate run-in with Kraken. So when a mysterious society known as the Sacrosanct recruits them for a globe-trotting mission to find and put a stop to the source of the unstable drug, it's their only choice to prevent becoming slaves to the vicious Syndicate. But something deeper lurks within the silence of the shadows, whispers that murmur vague mentions of prophecy and doom -- and Toku and Laila begin to realize that something larger looms, something that threatens to pull their new world of light back down into the depths of the dark.
