I became a living legend, my name feared throughout the Strangefells. But when a routine job took an unexpected turn, my world was upended. The walls I’d built around that little bit of soul I had left came crashing down and I fell. Hard. I ran, broken, hiding in a sleepy town and hoping my past would leave me for dead. But someone betrayed me. Now the leader of the most savage vampire syndicate in the Strangefells is sighting me in her crosshairs. I have no choice but to allow old habits to take over if there’s any chance of surviving what my enemies have in store. Something that could destroy the world as we know it.As the dangers rise and I rebuild bridges from the ashes I left behind, I start to realize that I’ve changed in ways I never saw coming. But can a mercenary eager for redemption hope for victory? Or is death the only thing waiting for me?Episode Updated 2/15/26: volume adjustmentsWritten and performed by Gwydion RoyceSound design by Gwydion RoyceCover art by Damonza.comCourtesy of www.epidemicsound.com:They Dream by Day/The Longest RunWendel Scherer/A Shallow GraveDef Lev/Olympus MonsAdditional SFX and music provided by Zapsplat.comIron-Forge Crossroads: Metanoia Copyright ©️2024 Gwydion Royce.
