The Blacksleeves

Fearsome. Fickle. Forsaken.

Every four thousand years, a small number of beings belonging to the realm of free-will are born with unusual metaphysical abilities.

To the djinn, they are known as Intrinsics.

However, every generation of Intrinsics that has emerged in the past were sinful, mischievous, and vindictive. For countless millennia, they’ve left nothing but despair and destruction in their wake.

What was once djinnkind’s hope for these powerful beings has now evolved into a deep-rooted hatred for their kind.

The Blacksleeves is a saga about the lives of four Intrinsic djinn and the choice they face: either to give in to their own darkness and forsake the world, or to conquer their destructive impulses once they are called upon to protect djinn and humans from the most primordial forces of evil in the Cosmos.
