In a fantasy world shared by humans, gods, and demons, bounty hunter Favaro Leone’s life changes when he encounters the mysterious Amira. Their meeting draws Favaro and his rival Kaisar Lidfard into events connected to the sealed dragon Bahamut, setting the stage for a story that brings personal rivalries into a wider conflict among supernatural forces.
Premise
In Mistarcia, humans live alongside gods and demons. The dragon Bahamut once threatened the world, and the gods and demons joined forces to seal it, dividing the key to its prison between them. The fragile peace that followed forms the backdrop to the story.
He is also pursued by fellow bounty hunter Kaisar Lidfard, who holds a grudge against him. As Favaro and Kaisar become entangled in the consequences of Amira’s arrival, the old danger surrounding Bahamut looms over their journey. Rita is among the central characters in the events that unfold.
Characters
The main characters are Amira, bounty hunter Favaro Leone, his rival Kaisar Lidfard, and Rita.
