Description: REDMARSHAL RHEA JAGGER:
Rhea is a Redmarshal: a person born with the the ability to destabilize all magic at a molecular level and destroy it, simply by being present in the vicinity. This is especially unfortunate for one reason: all manner of life on Tethys contains magic in some form. Meaning of course, a Redmarshal could cause the painful death of an innocent person or random natural body (such as a tree or grass) just by being near. This is why, from birth, people with this ability are forcefully inducted into the official Redmarshal sect of the military where they become branded... a process that involves burning the 'Soterus' onto their body, typically their hands. This glyph-like symbol restrains their wild ability to destabilize magic, limiting it to their own bodies. Though controlled, their ability can not be fully silenced... and anyone/anything living that comes into 'physical' contact with the Redmarshal, with the exception of fellow Redmarshals, will die or be violently destroyed. This makes the life of a Redmarshal a lonely and dangerous one. Though undoubtedly cursed, Redmarshals are utilized throughout Tethys by the military as a means to hunt and track down practitioners of the three illegal magics: Blackchurn (the conjuring of disease and curses), Necromancy (raising the dead), and Ambromancy (prolonging ones life through the death of others). Upon finding these criminals, Redmarshals need simply touch them to flay them of both their illegal magic and their lives, earning them the title of "mystical assassins" and "The Red Death".

The main heroine of the story, it falls on Rhea to see that the series of events put in motion by her squad member Myrrine, are dealt with. Feeling somewhat responsible for Myrrine's tragic transformation from friend to foe, she sees correcting her mistakes as a means to an end. (See the Myrrine commission description!) When Myrrine sparks a civil war, Rhea and her remaining Redmarshal squadmates are caught in the middle and are forced to question where their loyalties lie. As the world crumbles around her, Rhea's mettle will be tested in a storm of friendship, betrayal, and war.
