In Taru's Infernal Pledge, you step into the shoes of Taru 'Bolt' Nopsa, a dashing woman and exceptionally skilled thief, rogue and assassin. Immerse yourself in a new original fantasy universe and the sprawling metropolitan city of Valkama, the capital city of Jaerwik in the northern edges of the known world.

Taru has been working with a gang of criminals, her only family in truth, for a few years now. Her latest mission turns out to be a trap, and she is taken captive by cultists of an ancient evil known as The Fathomless Depth. Her soul will be sacrificed to appease this mysterious deity, unless she can escape her shackles.

Piru, the 5th archdemon of hell has been trying to tempt Taru into a deal with him for many years. Now, in order to escape the cultists, Taru finds herself finally pledging her body to the demon. The demon's demands make her head spin...
