The Disowned — Volume 05

In a city where poverty claws at every corner, a scholar named Glendower wrestles with relentless hunger, a waning wife, and a fragile infant. Though he clings to the lofty ideals he has inherited, daily survival forces him to confront a world that offers little more than cold indifference. His days swirl between fevered study, desperate attempts to earn a living, and moments of quiet solace when his thoughts drift toward a higher, unseen purpose.

One bleak evening, weakened and near‑fainting, Glendower wanders the desolate streets, his mind a storm of fear and longing. As a sudden commotion erupts nearby, he becomes the reluctant focus of a frantic crowd, their cries demanding answers he cannot give. The encounter thrusts him into a vortex of confusion, hinting at choices that may reshape his fate and test the depth of his convictions.
