In an unexplored world, the dangers are unknown. In a quiet town at the northernmost edge of the map, Noelle Starborne, the daughter of a fabric merchant, dreams of an adventurous life away from the simple cobblestone streets and storefronts. Eager to explore, she leaves home with a trade caravan heading South. Her curiosity and excitement are tested as she finds herself in uncharted territory alone.  Join Noelle on her journey to write her own story. It will not be nearly as clean and noble as it is in her leatherbound novels. There will be unplanned hardships throughout her journey. The question is: will she find something worth fighting for? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]  What to expect: Slow-burn start – character focused. Some—tastefully spaced—blue boxes. A mysterious, unexplored world. Fights that matter. Graphic violence.
