In the heart of the City of Jackals, a shadowy undercurrent of dark magic begins to emerge, threatening the delicate balance of power and the very fabric of reality. Bijou the Artificer, a seasoned Wizard of M, has dedicated decades to her craft, molding the elements into wondrous creations. Her expertise has made her a figure of respect, but also of apprehension among those who fear what her talents may invoke. As dark forces conspire around her, Bijou is drawn into a dangerous game where ancient secrets and treacherous alliances collide.
As she navigates this perilous landscape, Bijou encounters enigmatic creatures born from bone and jewel, each with their own mysterious powers and desires. Her journey reveals not only the complexities of her city’s magical heritage but also her own intertwined fate with the arcane arts. In a world where creation and destruction dance closely together, Bijou must confront her own limitations, pushing the boundaries of her abilities to survive.
