Kade is a warrior who does not feel pain. In fact, he feels no physical sensation at all. This is as much a detriment as a benefit in his battle against Apollyon, the Dark Lord who holds the world in an unyielding grip of despair. It is foretold that Kade will be the savior of the realm, but that is a destiny he does not embrace.

Hannah is little girl who is teased at school and finds no consolation at home. She deals with the disappointments in her life by imagining a future when she will become a powerful superhero. Her fantasy life is extremely vivid and her future identity, a very well endowed woman called The Ant, seems curiously disturbing for a ten-year-old girl.

In a medieval monastery, Ezra, a sword–for–hire, finds herself confronting Baal, a giant demon that has been summoned to do the bidding of a monk with regal aspirations. Ezra may have to raise her fee.

This book was produced as a promotional sampler of the titles available from Arcana Studio to take advantage of the annual Free Comic Book Day event that publishers and retailers use to entice new customers to the industry.
