The Broken Diamond
Order and Chaos. Liberty and Control. The use of Power.
The man trying to perfect himself as an example to others, finding enlightenment in serving others.
The one-eyed man in the labyrinth of the blind, breaking rules and committing sins in his search for something precious.
The woman finding herself by destroying herself, ripping lives apart in a search for something real.
The Broken Diamond follows a Cabal of Mages as they navigate the politics of Washington, DC, look for the line between their normal lives and the Supernal power that have placed them above Muggles and try to find out what it is they want to do with their unlimited power. The Broken Diamond, along with The Soul Cage, is an absolute must-read to anyone interested in Mage: The Awakening, the New World of Darkness or Tabletop Games in general.
