Impure Blood is a fantasy webcomic featuring Roan, an enslaved gladiator called The Abomination, who is not entirely human and is given a chance to escape by joining a quest. Caspian, who masterminds it, is in conflict with many others, including his own father. Meanwhile, his slaves Dara and Elnor have agendas of their own.
