Synopsis
In a secluded cabin on his eighth birthday, Emrys Abes witnesses a tragic event that sets the course for his life.
A visit from a soldier of the powerful Titlantia Monarchy leads to a deadly confrontation, leaving Emrys's family shattered and him with a burning desire for justice.
As the industrial revolution sweeps through Vernalia, tensions between the monarchy and the people escalate. Emrys, now under the guidance of the enigmatic Mr. Smith, discovers secrets about gateways and walkers—beings with extraordinary powers tied to the mystical branches of trees.
Driven by a thirst for vengeance and a longing to become a walker himself, Emrys navigates a world filled with danger and deception. But as he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding his fate and the truth about walkers, he realizes that his path is not just about revenge—it's about uncovering the truth and bringing about change.
Will he eventually sweep into madness? Or will he die during this revolution? The verity is still uncertain, but Emrys knows the fate of Vernalia is in his hands.
What to expect during this journey
- A slow kickstart to the story, however, I expect it to become much more fast-paced with certain events to not bore the readers.
- Intricate character interactions through actions and dialogue
- Lots of world-building drops
- Well-written fight scenes
- Mythological correlations
- The chapter release schedule is still uncertain, but this is what I hope for ( Sat / Sun at 6:00 PM EST )
Inspirations
I've mainly been inspired by ORV ( Omniscient Readers Viewpoint ), LOTM ( I am still reading ), COS ( Crest of Souls, check it out on RoyalRoad ), and mythos.
Disclaimer: I am still a beginner author, so the tone and vocabulary of the story may seem a bit limited, however, I try to make the chapters have good and strong vocabulary to make an enjoyable read. I hope to become a much more fleshed-out author in the future as I write this tale.
Without further ado, Enjoy!
