The Relic Retriever

In a remote temple, a professional treasure-hunter uncovers a cursed relic. Though beautiful, it has an enthralling influence on people. Disaster falls when he is betrayed by a fellow relic-trader and driven from his homeland, across a dozen strange, hostile lands haunted with predatorial beasts, magicians, terrors and legends. He strives to cope with the irreversible physical transformation that binds him to the relic while secretly plotting to settle scores with his old enemies.
