In the City of Ravnica, a metropolis so vast that its name has long since become synonymous with an entire

plane, our story begins Dack Fayden, Planeswalker thief, has stolen a valuable artifact from the Cult of Rakdosthe Ancient Fang. Pursued by members of the group, he manages to escape by moving to another plane. What he doesnt know is hes inadvertently returned to his home plane, where he is a wanted man. Forced to planeswalk once more, Dack returns to Ravnica, wounded but intact. After having his injuries tended to, he retires to a safehouse and uses his abilities to try and learn the artifacts secrets. Instead, he witnesses the destruction of his hometown through the eyes of the villain that committed the act. Shocked but determined, Dack sets out to track her down at her next destination: Innistrad.
