Shadowland

Details

In the French Pyrenees lays a realm where one can reject the modern world after losing everything. For sorcerer Uranie and his apprentice Iranon, priestess Anaiya and former Hollywood filmmaker Richard Stanley, this land of magic is where your own legend is being written. After an encounter with a deity associated with the local mystery religion, Stanley gains reverence within the group of spiritual seekers. But as lies accumulate, each of them must choose between belief and reality.
