Nemesis Macaria, Nether Witch Princess of Dhara, loves her people. So when a group of witches is slaughtered and hung in the ocean she takes it upon herself to travel north to the Angel kingdoms of Andraste–the Angel kingdoms where her kind isn’t allowed. She will have to trust an ice-hearted ghost, a quick thief, a dragon’s wife, a near-angelic nymph, and a too smart for his own good Aether witch soldier if she is going to get to the Smoldering Sea.
Nemesis will be out of her place, out of her depth, out of her damn mind, but it is a risk she must take for her people. The path to liberation lies in Crosswater. The only question is will she be able to escape north before the water rises?

Eris Lada: eight centuries | ghost | warrior | the red lion of isold’e | protector of the nether witch princess of dhara | wise | isolated
Orlaith Clearwater: 17 | Lady of Crosswater | Maiden of Tarasi | her father’s bargaining chip | selfless | obedient
Corvina Naida: 122 | water nymph | the siren of Crosswater | healer | angel’s ballad | confident | vain

Dhara: Nemesis’s home. It is one of two where nether witches and demons reign rather than aether witches and angels. The country is characterized by its extensive mountain ranges and cold weather.
Crosswater, West Andraste: the supposed holy city of West Andraste, the location where the Iron and Kestral River cross believed to be blessed by the one true. Prejudice against the Nether creatures is strong here (not as strong as Andraste). It is ruled by the Dragon Lord, Fervain Clearwater, who killed his predecessor.
For this year’s NaNoWriMo I’ve decided to take a break from TNO and focus on my The Sun Falls and The Water Rises series that I’ve been brainstorming and developing for a while now. I’ll be saying more about my goal once we get closer to the date (I have a four day weekend that I’m going to be using to prep) but for now, this is all I am going to post. If you would like to stay updated on my progress through the month please let me know! I’d love to tag people for this project!
That being said this project will be uploaded to wattpad as I go (unedited of course), so if you would like to read it as I work you can follow me @/_nemesisrising_ or the link here will take you to my account!
I’m so sorry for not keeping you guys properly update on my NaNoWriMo progress. I promise I haven’t already given up lol. I’ve been slow to make edits but I’m gonna take the time to catch you guys up!
PROGRESS for NOVEMBER 1st:
Word count: 3346
Chapters: Prologue and have of the first chapter.
Favorite quote:
“And in a moment that was like the sun exploding, like the universes crashing, like the stars and moons aligning, and the world cracking, her magic--her entire life force burst from her body and fire rose from the valley of Kenna.”
PROGRESS for NOVEMBER 2nd:
Word count: 3343
Chapters: The rest of the first and the final chapter
Favorite quote:
“It was nothing to fret over, yet the Nether witches, humans, and nymphs celebrated like Nemesis had come back from the dead! She laughed at the thought.
“As if I'd ever die.”
PROGRESS for NOVEMBER 3rd:
Word Count (as of right now because I haven’t finished yet for the day): 2338
Chapters: The second and part of the third
Favorite quote:
“When the world finally found out about her existence, they thought her to already be centuries old, fuming with power unlike anything they had ever seen. A child of Dhara’s Earth and Kenna’s Fire. They called her Nemesis Lorelei Macaria, the Wildfire of Orlovlyn.”

From now on I should hopefully be posting consistent updates throughout the month along with monthly ones on Fridays. If you guys are interested in reading Nether Witch (which I would love it if you were) you can now keep up with it one Wattpad.

Oliver blushed red as he looked at his friend Vendra. He was rather nervous as he took a relaxing breath before leaning in to kiss her as his heart pounded a mile a minute.
Oliver blinked as he was suddenly hugged tightly “ what the?” He was stunned as he squirmed in the person’s grip who was hugging him “ w-who are you?” He asked while glancing at the one who was hugging him.
