What is the story about?

Talon is a thief, and not a very smart one. When he steals a strange, blue-steeled ring from a dying woman's hand, he finds himself granted near immortality from mortal wounds, while at the same time, he is dying faster than ever.

Talon quickly finds himself on the run, hunted by a mythical race of half-human, half-beasts called the Ayenroki, who claim guardianship of what he took. But not even a warrior Ayenroki and a Possessed sibling harboring a demon under Contract can protect Talon from the Nashrri--an undead, bodiless force that also want what he stole.

Or was it rescued?

Grudgingly, the thief has no choice but to travel to the homeland of the Ayenroki, where the strange ring can be protected. That is, if they can all live long enough to get there. And figure out why everything and everyone along the way seems to want them all dead.

As if just living from day to day wasn’t hard enough.
