WIP Introduction: The Ashes of War
When the Barriers were raised, they were meant to protect those within their walls from the leviathans which now roam the skies, but a thousand years after they were put up tensions are flaring as those trapped beneath fight over the scraps of resources which remain, and the Barriers meant to protect them turn their lands slowly to desert.
The Ashes of War is an adult high fantasy novel, the oldest of all my WIPs (it'll be ten in september) and also what my url is named after. It was also my nano project and now has a first draft complete at 120k words.
Featuring: giant monsters, metal-based magic which slowly turns its users mad, enemies-to-begrudging-friends, assassin guilds, rebel hideouts, the return of ~rightful~ kings, courtly politics and characters getting revenge.
Content warnings: death, blood, gore, religious trauma, torture, and war.
