Summary
"I will forward this by saying that I do not know if this story is real. The owner of the diary thought it as such, and I will not deny a dead man his convictions. However, the truthfulness of such a tale does not concern me, for legends of strange creatures flourish easily among the smoky roofs of Zaun, and can be found in every decadent nook of the city.
It is the staggering melancholy of this recounting that has left an indelible echo in my heart, one I do not wish to fade away with its owner, but that I nonetheless sense the need to exorcise. This is how the transcription in your hands was born.
So, take this tale as you wish. As a true recounting of the demise of a promising scientist, or as the musings of a madman, or as an exemplary study of what ambition and frustration can lead a gifted mind to.
Some might read it as a warning against challenging the men and women destiny and greed have unjustly put above us. Others might instead view it as the very opposite of that, a testimony of defiance in the face of a world that imposes its claws on our souls from the very moment we are born.
For me, this is first and foremost a love story."

Summary
In the midst of Zaun's foggy alleys, a small army of Enforcers is searching for a strange man they consider responsible of bringing murder and plague right to the doors of the golden city of Piltover.
Jayce Talis, a disgraced pupil of the Academy, is accompanying them to act as bait, for he had unknowingly hosted this strange man and given him access to his victims.
But as darkness descends, the line between hunter and prey gets blurry, for Jayce's true loyalty lies with the monster himself.
