The Runemaker's Monster Girls 1: Gamelit Fantasy Harem Adventure

For Fin Felspar, life has been about
Hide from the humans who killed his parents,
Hide the ancient power trapped within him,
Hide from the one Elf who knows he holds it.

One of six forbidden runes has acclimated to Fin, empowering him to place wandering spirits into new bodies to create gifted hybrids. Knowing the foul plans his ‘uncle’ has for this magic, Fin set off on his own, exiling himself to keep the power from falling into the wrong hands. However, just when he thought his efforts in hiding were successful, he receives the letter he’s been dreading. Uncle Marklan has found another forbidden rune, and has already used it to destroy the Dwarven city it was buried beneath.

No longer able to hide, Fin accepts his fate, and begins his quest to stop Marklan. The race to find the remaining four runes has begun, and Fin is far, far behind.
