Synopsis

Serafina, or "Finn," is a 17-year-old girl from a small village who doesn't always have the self preservation instinct one might desire. Rushing headlong into danger, she finds herself drawn into a treacherous whirlpool of circumstances and intrigue far beyond her illusions of control.



As she leaves her village on a journey that will change her life forever, she’s joined by her neighbor Mayra and Mayra’s quick-witted and charmingly irritating brother Riley, whose kindness and admiration for Finn begins to show through his teasing banter.



Roland, an orphaned doctor's apprentice, is on his own quest to help save the lives of his city’s people. Coming across the three villagers on the road, he is enchanted by Finn’s beauty but finds a wall around her heart.



These four join forces in an effort to help the people they love, conquer their own pasts, and survive the onslaught of romance, magic, strife, loss, and war.



As these young adventurers are bound together and torn apart by the circumstances around them, they will begin to learn just how different the world is than they had always thought. Their battle against the darkness, both external and internal, could define the future of their nations.



*Book is completed and fully published, I hope you enjoy!*

This, my book, is unaccountably fantastic in every possible sense except reality. Sure I have no clue where it’s going, but I’m excited to be just as surprised as the readers about what happens.

*taps microphone* Greetings, fellow WN readers. It is I, the Monarch of Ash - some random guy who has a hobby of reading, and matchmaking fantasy couples together 😉 Ahem, today's review will be aimed at encouraging you to give this novel a try. Firstly, I have to say the synopsis is one of the best I have ever seen. I mean if that hasn't made you laugh, then are you really a true reader at heart? It was brilliant! Onto the serious part of the review, the writing quality of this book is insane. It is excellemy. Much better than the majority of novels you'd find on this app, in fact. It is that good. If that hasn't immediately made you want to read this, then fret not, because at the five chaps this review is written at, the characters which have so far been been introduced are interesting and very memorable. Interactions between said characters are smooth and well written. A big plus! Anyway, I highly recommend you give this book a try... After all great "folly" is still great, as I like to say. Even if our dear Author would like to disagree. Personal message for the Author here: This is my attempt at making a review that didn't praise the book to high heaven, otherwise you would have probably killed me (😅). I like it so far and look forward to the chapters to come! Keep up the great work! :)

For someone who claims she doesn’t know what she is doing, it is very interesting to see the plot develop and the characters take shape. Looking forward to seeing where this is going for sure! This review totally has nothing to do with the fact the author said not to write one 😜

I think this ultimately insulting... For a person who just wants to write for writing sake to beat me, someone who plans on writing professionally in almost every aspect🥲🥲🥲. Just stop playing and write professionally. You've got the makings of a great writer.

I mean, need I say more, the grammar here isn't meant for the web novel folks, this should be a real book, published printed with hard covers and placed on the best-seller shelf. I never really read books with female MCs but this, this was different, this is good and I'll probably keep reading for a while

The writing is stellar, and the plot seems interesting. I was reading and, within minutes, wondered when the next chapter was coming out with anticipation. Anyway, great work, author!

While I, myself, am currently a rage filled cupcake over the latest unexpected plot-twist, the writing is phenomenal! Of course I don't know how the story ends at this point and the possibilities are nearly limitless. An author is supposed to take you on an emotional roller-coaster and keep you wanting more. I finished reading the most recently released chapter and can definitively say I felt ALL the emotions and am counting the hours until the next chapter is released tomorrow. Sometimes we want art to be predictable. Art "is something which the artist creates for his own satisfaction, without thinking about what the world would say about it". Your readers are incredibly privileged to be able to step outside reality and into the pages of your imagination. Every part of this book has been exceptionally executed. So in summation, dear author, I'm very impressed and proud of you even though I'm slightly untethered about the whole thing!! I am confident that however the story evolves and ends, you won't disappoint me with your skills!

A fantastic story weaved from a breathtaking concept by a skillful hand indeed. The compelling world building and the enchanting characters have left me spellbound, truly. The coruscating vocabulary remains consistent throughout. Enjoyed the journey until now, hoping to read further.

Haven't fully read it, but so far it seems pretty good. The characters are engaging and the story is in depth enough to see a really good time in the future. The characters are varied and each have a clear role that flows together with the main character. Keep it up.
