The Selva are a race of women who inhabit the realm of Purgatory. They can also be described as Death Witches or in some cases, Grim Reapers. Their main purpose is to escort the souls they collect to their appropriate destinations.

0074 (Alyson Taylor in life) is a new Selva, training in the art of magic to perform her duty to Purgatory. Elias Ward is her mysterious Guardian, a boy sworn to protect her life. Will this pair turn Purgatory upside down?

“Remember though. Madness is basically a part of Purgatory. Your madness will consume you but my madness… it has a method.” I smirk, a lopsided, goofy-looking thing. “A method to the madness. Has a ring to it, don’t you think? Well, even if you don’t… it’s true. And you both would do well to remember it.”
