Misadventures Incorporated: The Deception of Claire Augustus

by S.S. Squid

She had always despised her puppetmaster's strings. For six long years, they'd bound and controlled her. When opportunity finally knocked, she didn't hesitate for a moment to sever them at their roots.

Derailing her scheduled sacrifice, Lady Claire Augustus, scion of the Goddess' Spear, broke from her fetters and sought her first taste of freedom. Alas, it was not paradise that awaited beyond the horizon, but a deadly, mind-bending dungeon. Armed with nothing but a tattered dress, her thirst for adventure, and a gaggle of potentially imaginary companions, she must rely on her wits to forge ahead.

Will she escape from the dungeon's depths before it siphons her sanity? Or will she devolve into the heartless weapon that her blood demands?

Fun fluff, heavy on the amoral murder hobo.
