Synopsis
When a lost girl wakes up without a name, she quickly finds herself alone in a way that people around her can’t fix.
Without a real plan and desperate to find what’s wrong with her, she thrashes and bites to stay alive.
But human beings are weak things, that band together for strength, no matter who we are. Now if only she could work up the courage to ask one question...
It’s normal to get stronger when you drink the blood of monsters. Right?
Things to expect:
- A powerful but kinda neurotic and emotional protagonist, with some degree of weak to strong. Or maybe strong to stronger, honestly. She's pretty rational and practical about things but won't always make the best decisions, so be warned if you super-dislike characters doing dumb stuff for emotional reasons sometimes.
- Lots of dialogue and characterization, especially as we get more into it. It's focused on a single POV, but there might be some sections of other POVs later on, I'm not sure right now.
- Magic is on the softer side, but I'll try to keep things fleshed out enough to avoid any obvious "well-established magic could have seemingly instantly solved this problem" moments.
- I didn't add the mystery tag because I feel like it implies that this is a detective novel or something, but the story is absolutely incredibly opaque at times. So you'll have the most fun if you go into it trying to puzzle out the nature of events before they're explicitly explained!😇
- Also, I added the genre for completion, but it's gonna take a while to get to the romance. Please wait warmly and have some tea.
