The Gloomcatcher
Neriath is an inherited Gloomcatcher. Released from the dungeons, she is prepared for the long-old revenge against the Tohanians who mercilessly killed her family for practicing the forbidden art of Gloomcatching, in the name of good and God. The strong conviction for revenge brings her through the deadly storms of the Farim Ocean, the beasts of the Dark Waters, the Zygerrian madmen, and many more oddities with her unlikely companions. Yet, besides making her evil, what good can come from vengeance?Orephnil Hennetthor is the runagate prince.With the assassination of the king of Filhayal and the revolutionists after his life, he is obliged to follow Neriath on her obscure mission. A man of cordial nature and kind heart, he occasionally finds himself in discord with Neriath on opposing beliefs and somehow miring themselves in life-threatening situations. He fell in love with the most unexpected person but they say, love is poison,---and he tastes it a little every day. Kyrell Calarook is the Chief of the Bandits.The irreverent outlaw becomes their self-appointed guide when an encounter with Neriath brings his attention to Tohan, a place he wanted to visit. A man of sans morals, sans beliefs, and downright unapologetic, he, unlike Orephnil, surprisingly finds himself having zealously unwavering confidence in Neriath and all her decisions. He has lost everything but they say, a loser never smiles---and he laughs every day.A journey too far, secrets too deep, and when conflicts arise, alliances break leaving behind gaping hollow remains. After all, truth suffocated by hundreds of lies is never dead.© moiraduh ©June 29, 2023…
