The young wizard Martimeos journeys through war-scarred lands and dark forests, searching for something he lost long ago. Accompanied by the wild witch Elyse, together they encounter demons, fae, curses and worse besides, all the while hiding secrets from each other. Will they learn to trust one another? What will Martimeos find on his path through these shadowed lands, and what mysteries about his past will he uncover? How long will he have to wander west? WANDER WEST, IN SHADOW is a slow-paced dark fantasy that will update once a day on weekdays with long chapters (typically 5k+ words) until the first book is finished. Magic in this setting is less powerful than in many other fictions, especially when Elyse and Martimeos are first starting out their journey. This is a world where it is often better to run than it is to stand and fight. If you are interested in a long story full of danger and mystery and some darker themes, where the protagonists gradually become stronger, this may be the series for you!
