Downtown Druid

Betrayed by his gang and tossed into Rendhold’s brutal Underprison, Dantes survives on scraps and cunning. A half-breed of orc, human, and elf blood, he’s spent five years lying, stealing, and fighting in the shadows—until a streak of misfortune earns him a deadly enemy. But fate offers a twisted gift: newfound powers and a shot at vengeance. In a city-state ruled by cutthroats and corruption, Dantes claws his way up the criminal ladder, using slow-burning magic and ruthless strategy. He’s no hero—just a man with a code and a club, willing to crack skulls or outsmart rivals to claim his place. Now, with enemies above and monsters below, Dantes must decide how far he’ll go to burn the city that broke him.
