Thank you for the ask, and thank you so much for the compliments! It validates my writing a lot to hear that you want to get to know my work better. I also do a lot of worldbuilding, both for my current WIPs and to develop foundations for possible future stories, so knowing you like what I create means a lot!
If you're interested, here's a bit of worldbuilding for you:
My novel WIP "A Place to Return" is (partially) set in the world of Ryedenne.
This world used to have four deities, each of them granting a piece of their power to hand-picked Saints who could help look after the world as its animal populations and civilizations grew. Shortly after choosing their Saints, however, a fight broke out between the deities. One of them had betrayed another, hurting them so deeply that their tears infected the world with a curse. The traitor was exiled to wander other worlds and the worst of the curse was contained, but every Summer since the world has remembered the agony of that betrayal. Even now, there are those who are vulnerable to the curse and will find themselves prone to violently lashing out and destroying whatever's in their path. These individuals are called Crows and often spend the Summer months in quarantine halls where they're kept in isolation from people or things they could harm.
Leo Echo-Wilhelm, a native of Ryedenne, has never had a Crow Summer in his life. Owen Marlowe, who swaps bodies with Leo, has his first Crow Summer at 12 years old. Same body, different souls, and only one is vulnerable to the curse of the Ryedenne deities.
