Synopsis

Raziel is a child of the Ashen's Curse, sharing the same blood as the monstrosities who'd slain innocent lives as the thirst for bloodshed was in their nature. At least, that is what the surface dwellers believed of those of Ashen blood, compelling them to banish the Ashen from the surface world. For centuries, those of Ashen heritage lived in peace with one another beneath the surface until war inevitably tore them apart. They began killing their own like cattle, perhaps showcasing that violence was in fact inherited through their blood. Alone, having a family lost from the endless bloodshed of the Altafarian Civil War, Raziel clings to life by hiding in the shadows and surviving off of scraps until he runs into a young woman with the goal of escaping this cursed land beneath the surface in search of the supposed Tree of Immortal Life. Having nothing to lose and an instant soft spot for this young woman, Raziel takes her by the hand, and the two journey to the surface, facing adversity at every turn, triumphing due to their ever-growing undying love for one another. Raziel: The Foreshortened Life of an Ashen Elf is a uniquely beautiful, yet action-packed love story of life and death, loss and acceptance, love and hatred, and prevailing over one's fated bloodline.
