Two of Knaves
B73/100Web serial by ScottWarren
A failed seer and a struggling brawler find their paths inextricably linked in the city of Dragonmaw. Darcent of Stitch Alley earned a full ride to the premier magic academy for Soul Seekers — powerful mages who cast spells by bonding with the Deck of Wills — until he flunked out, bonding only with cards the academy deemed too unsavory for sensible mages. Annalisa of Dunnemarsh is a devilborn touched by the planes, obsessed with becoming the strongest fighter in the city, if only she could focus long enough to channel her strength. Both outcasts drawn together by fate and mishap, the pair turn loose on the mean streets of Dragonmaw. In each other, they find more than mere kinship — they find a path to power that can only be tread together.
