Shadowspawn

Hanse Shadowspawn of Sanctuary & Mignureal, his young lover, are travelling through the barren desert.

Mignureal is the daughter of the first person to show Hanse kindness in his harsh upbringing. He was once a lonely and ostracised orphan who was denied food by all those around him save her mother.

Hanse is initially resistant to the idea of seducing the young girl.

He has the power of wish and once time, he experimented with it and wishes for the young Mignureal to be waiting for him in her bed.

He had not expected it to work and as such to begin with, felt incredibly guilty about any seduction of her. 

He then wished for this to appear only as a dream in both their minds. Although he knew the truth…

The desert proves a harsh environment for the two, even one as capable as Hanse, as they encounter danger, deception, sorcery and crime on their journey to the town of Firaqa.

They’re both lucky to have the help of Hanse’s vicious, yet loyal cat, Notable. An ally not to be scoffed at.

What further adventures await them as they delve deeper into the world?
