A hand-built tale with friends, fantasy, and a light shining home.Tired of a life spent as a thief, Owyn leaves his partner in crime and his old life behind him to build something of his own. An invention, a building, and something bigger than his past all hide within the plans he brings to the capital city of Kudra. Owyn hopes to build a lighthouse, to be constructor and keeper. To be alone.However, his simple dream of creating something of his own doesn’t come that easy.
