The Dust of Rumors Covers Him

There is a world where all roads and rivers converge at a single point: the Inn at the Crossroads. Logan has always lived at the Inn. He works there, as one of the indentured servants known as the Children. Waiting for the day that he will finally regain his freedom. The days are long and the work is hard for the Children. And each task they get is different. Anyone can pay for their servitude, and have them do whatever labors are needed.
But they can never hurt them. If they do...the Master of the House always finds out. And he is never forgiving. Or so the rumors go. And the rumors surrounding the Master of the House at this inn, are infinite. Some say he is the most powerful man in the world. But they're all just rumors.
