Death Gems

On the verge of capturing a Soul Stealer, Junto Kral and his team of Extractors make a fatal mistake that results in the tragic death of a loved one. The consequences threaten to tear their team apart, but they vow to continue their mission to rid the world of those who would use the dark powers of the death gems to steal the souls of innocent victims and use their life-forces to escape death.

As their hunts for the Soul Stealers continue, Junto and his team of Extractors realize this evil is far more powerful and widespread than they had first thought and they must use every resource available to them to survive, despite what it may do to their friendships.Soul Stealers choose to use the ominous powers of dark creatures called death beetles to steal the souls of innocent victims and use their life-forces to escape death. Once a soul is stolen, its life force is trapped inside a death beetle and the Soul Stealer attaches the death beetle to their body, whereupon the death beetle transforms and its shell solidifies, giving the creature the semblance of a hardened gem. The only way to save a stolen soul from permanent annihilation is to extract it from the death gem that resides on the body of a Soul Stealer host before the Soul Stealer uses it, and thus free the soul so it may escape into the Everlasting.

Junto Kral and his group of Extractors are determined to rid their world of the deadly Soul Stealer menace, but as they learn more about the underbelly of these forces they realize just how overwhelming their job truly is...
