New Chicago has a serial killer. Or two.
Arya Skovsgaard is a lot of things, but a hero is not one of them. She might do heroic things, but since waking up ten years ago with no memory, it’s hardly something she can claim.
It also doesn’t help that as a Remnant, she has strange powers that a large chunk of the world does not. She’s not alone, but metahumans aren’t always seen as positives in this world. Especially since they’re blamed for the First and Second Disruptions that occurred centuries ago.
Worse still, her powers of communion with the dead are really helpful for solving crimes, but little else.
When a new string of serial murders turns out to be two different culprits, she finds herself in a head-on collision with a truth that is far larger than herself. And one that will ultimately alter the world as she knows it.
