Wander West, in Shadow
S85/100Web serial by CloverCloverClover
The war ended, but the world didn't. For years, the lands burned in the wars of the White Queen, a sorceress and tyrant whose mad ambition brought ruin to all she touched. Now she is dead, but all that remains has been bled dry — charred towns lie hollow, fields return to the wild, and quiet shadows settle where folk once made their homes. Through this darkness, the young wizard Martimeos walks broken roads following the fading trail of his brother, who marched west to fight in the Queen's War and never returned. On his journey he must barter with demons, trade riddles with fae, and contend with the wild witch Elyse, a fellow practitioner with secrets of her own. At last the road brings him to Silverfish, a cursed village whose future has been stolen. His search will lead him to the horror at the heart of Silverfish's tragedy — and the truth behind his brother's fate.
