Since the Harrowing thousands of years ago, an abyss has emerged in the centre of the world. Almost like a giant stab wound, leaking the wrongness of the world out of it, the entire Empire has been fighting against it since it began. The Guild leads this fight; mages, soldiers and even healers travel the land, minimising the impacts and helping where they can. When Wynn's family runs out of money, the only way Wynn can keep her family from risking being infected is to join the Guild herself. As a Mage, Wynn is thrust into a whole new world of power, social hierarchies and fight for survival... This is my first fiction so if you only like reading well-written, polished works, please move on! I'm open to feedback but don't expect perfection.
