Bound to the Abyss

Ean, a young Healer's apprentice in the secluded village of Rottwealth, is the village pariah. Doing his best to live up to the reputation, Ean often finds himself in bad situations. The worst being a vicious beating given to him by the youngest son of the mayor and his friends. But when the village is threatened by the invasion of a monster, Ean escapes his life as he is dragged along in a quest to find a way to battle this new threat. Getting his wish to finally leave the village, even if not in the way he wants, Ean discovers a world much larger and more complicated then he ever could have imagined. Unfortunately, he also carries a secret that the majority of the world would rather did not exist. For Ean has a connection to the Abyss, a place created by a dark god that is full of beasts and monsters. Monsters that Ean is slowly learning how to summon into his own world. But with a connection to a taboo god and a power he barely understands, can Ean fit into the world outside of his secluded village? Or will the stigma that has been placed on him since birth follow him the rest of his life.
