Science, Eternal Life, and a Traveling Circus |1|

Even the most uneducated can have a mind for adventure - especially when it comes to saving the world.

A man with a tie is discovered outside the limits of a dried-up settlement in the middle of nowhere, bearing a plague that was long thought to be contained behind the walls of Ban-Ken. When Master Drew Hughes discovers that the man intends to spread the disease beyond the great city, it is up to the private alcoholic and a loud-mouthed orphan, Alyn Smythy, to brave the city's walls and put a stop to the man-made plague before its power falls into the wrong hands.

Book one of two. [BOUND FOR EXTENSIVE REWRITES IN NOVEMBER!]
If you are triggered by suicide mentions, probably about three suggestions of it crop up total in this book.

Art in both is by me; though some of the black silhouettes in the banner (skeleton, horse, wagon, two trash piles) are vectors from the net.
Any art found will be by me unless otherwise specified (credit will be given at end of chapter). I don't ask for critique or constructive criticism on my art: I am NOT an artist and will never claim to be. I'm a self-taught hobbyist.
