This collection brings together the complete stories that unravel the enigmatic character's journey through a landscape rife with supernatural threats and moral ambiguity. Kane, a sorcerer of immense power and a tragic past, traverses strange realms and engages in battles not just against external enemies, but also against his own inner demons.
Wagner’s storytelling is rich and immersive, weaving a tapestry of horror, adventure, and philosophical inquiries that challenge the very essence of humanity.
