Having escaped their devastated homeland, the siblings travel far south to the new regions and vibrant cities to start a new life and control Hugo’s curse. But, when Hugo’s powers reawaken, death and destruction return in a flood of devouring rats. Forced to flee once more, Amicia and Hugo place their hopes in a prophesized island that may hold the key to saving Hugo. Discover the cost of saving those you love in a desperate struggle for survival. Strike from the shadows or unleash hell, overcoming foes and challenges with a variety of weapons, tools and unearthly powers.
With the innocence left behind, Amicia is much more ready to enter battles to save her brother Hugo, and has learned new tricks. The boy can use his special abilities to control the swarms of rats – however, doing so has a negative effect on his health and thus will need to be used sparingly.
