Witchhunter Isaacs was having a bad day. At the tender age of 26, he was the youngest witchhunter ever to obtain the rank of Master of the Hunt, and be placed in charge of an entire wing of hunters. Unfortunately for Isaacs, this appointment was over the taxation and petty offenses wing. The years he […]

The two young witchlings stood alone in a secluded chamber of the manor’s basement, diligently drawing chalk lines and referencing the open books strewn about in the air around them.
