The Hunter's Gambit

Aleksei Drago never expected an easy life, but he never imagined how capricious it could be. Growing up amongst the Ri-Vhan of Seil Wood, losing his mother and just as suddenly being torn from the forest folk, Aleksei had no choice but to make the best of an unpredictable present and future.
But what happens when the monsters and figures of fiction become horrifyingly real? Will Aleksei find the will to respond when all he cares about its threatened? Will he fight, reforging himself into the man Prophecy demands he become? In a world of magic and Magi, of Angels and Demons alike, how will a simple farm boy survive his own contorted destiny?
This is the story of a seemingly-simple world gone mad, and the reality that every action, no matter how apparently benign, can serve to unravel terrifying truths. This is the story of Aleksei Drago, farmer, Hunter, and so much more.
