Jayce comes into the care of a reclusive mage whose past is as tightly guarded as his sanctuary. An uneasy coexistence slowly deepens into something more complex - an exploration of grief, trust, power, and the long road toward healing.

Summary
And so Jayce Talis has crawled out of the depths of the Undercity and through the ruins of Piltover and found himself a second chance. There has only been one person on his mind. One that he wishes he could go back to, even if it changes nothing.
His entire train of thought derails as the stranger lifts his head. Short, sharp exhales make little clouds of vapor puff from his lips. His fingers, blackened with dirt and wrapped with shreds of his own clothing, curl into a fist around the haft of his weapon, leaning against it to support his own weight. It’s the eyes that drive the air from Viktor’s lungs.
He knows those eyes.
He knows that face.
“Jayce?”
At the sound of his own name, Jayce recoils. His teeth grit together as he grabs his head to turn himself away, breaking the hold of his stare. The intensity of it lingers though. Like the bright flash of a camera. The look on his face stains itself to the forefront of Viktor’s mind. He looked like… almost like an animal.

Summary
Jayce Talis made his fortune with the Hexgates, but is now an indolent playboy, as corrupt and scheming as the rest of Piltover's elite; at least by day. By night he is the Defender of Tomorrow, using secret Hextech weaponry to strike back against the city's oppressors.
The Herald fights for the people of the Undercity every night, using strange rune magic to overwhelm the rampant crime. By day he is just Viktor, a wearied scientist running a medical clinic for those who cannot afford care.
The Defender and Herald are bitter enemies, only restrained by the thin truce between their cities. But when a class war begins to loom once again, the two are forced to work together to save both their respective homes.
