“honor code” series, Ironcrest

Modern day. The modern metropolis of Ironcrest lives at its own pace—ever-hurrying crowds of workers in the morning, business meetings by day, and bars buzzing all night long coexist harmoniously within the city limits. In the whirlwind of events, people increasingly forget about their own safety. Driven by tasks, they have grown accustomed to reassuring themselves that trouble can touch anyone else but them.

Recently, attacks have become more frequent in Ironcrest—the criminal underbelly of the city is undergoing an upheaval, and the safety of civilians has become precarious indeed. Police patrols have been reinforced, a curfew imposed.

Life reveals itself from utterly unexpected sides—those defending and those protected, attackers and those who revel in it.
