Ranloo didn't believe in monsters. Now he has become one. An elven ranger on a mission to the great city of Jaris, lost and alone in the human capital with no chance to return home. Hunted and feared, he fights for his right to live, battling himself each step of the way. When his only prospect of survival rests in the hands of a young thief, he discovers the world isn't as black and white as he'd believed and his world-view is challenged to the core. Faced with a heart-rending threat, he stands up to fight. But his struggles might not lead to the goal he desires.  This story is finished, but I'm currently working on editing. Any feedback that will help me improve is much appreciated! I made a new cover with the help of Midjourney and Photoshop (Oct 2023) . Hope you like it? :)  Trigger warning: This is a Dark fantasy tragedy. It is mature and contains scenes with violence, blood, torture, and death. There's very little bad language and no sex scenes. It has LGBTQ characters. Thank you and enjoy!
