Esmeralda & Escarlata is a genre-blurring grimdark, erotica and steampunk action-adventure series that balances intricate world-building with hardcore sex and stylish ultra-violence.

When vengeful friars from gothic kingdom Dominion wake up 27-year-old livestock caretaker Esmeralda in the middle of the night, accusing her of murder and demanding justice, she is forced to confront the havoc her amnesia-inducing dark side Escarlata has wrought.

It’s not her fault a botched military experiment fractured her mind and granted her succubus-like abilities of fiery destruction and willpower-melting seduction, leading to a drug-dealing double life as a hitwoman for the Hawkmoth Syndicate.

Hours later, surrounded by charred remains and a crazed vigilante named Rojo, who has apparently tracked her down after months of butchering his way through the Shadow District run by Syndicate nightclub traffickers, Esmeralda gets pulled into a dangerous game played at the highest and lowest levels of society.

Once she receives an invitation to become an elite courtesan for steam-powered Liberty’s most honorable merchant-prince, Azul, who also happens to be in a cold war with the Syndicate, her initiation ceremony during the Three-Roses Gala at his pleasure castle will go horribly wrong.

After all, a peacemaking festival that brings together the whip-wielding dominatrix-nuns of Dominion and the crystal-powered lunatics who run cyberpunk metropolis Commune is a powder keg just waiting to explode.
