In a dying world, in the ruins of a once great empire, where relentless drought grips the land and deserts encroach, bandits and beasts plague those seeking to survive.
Fear is commonplace, and suspicion and mistrust of the unknown, all of which falls heavily on Nhaqosa the white minotaur who walks the long roads seeking his way home, a stranger to the world he finds himself in, even when he seeks to aid those sore oppressed by the troubles of the land. An encounter with a band of bandits, and the captive they hold, may change all of that.
The Merchant's Legacy is a 52 page, 12,300 word novelette, the second in The Chronicles of the White Bull short fiction series.
