In SerialUnliving Fantasy Tragedy Comedy Martial Arts Slice of Life Psychological
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021]
For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in.
The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless.
Yet fate had a different path in store for her.
For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being.
Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death.
She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath.
What will fate deal her next?
Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday.
---------------------------------------
Expect:
-Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages
-World building
-Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures
-Occasional action
Do not expect:
-Much in terms of romance
-Politics, barring passing views and mentions
-A lighthearted tale. This story will be a good bit grimmer than my previous one
Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.
And thank you for reading.

The Storm King
Leon and his father, Artorias, are the last remaining scions of a once powerful and illustrious family of lightning mages. After barely surviving an attack that destroyed their home fifteen years ago, they now live in the dangerous Northern Vales, a desolate wilderness far away from civilization. But those who want them dead are strong, patient, and relentless, and it is only a matter of time before they find the two they seek... Posted first on my website, wardenreading.com, which will be 4 chapters ahead of anywhere else I post -- March 2020: Decided to stop doing that, Royal Road is caught up completely to all currently released free chapters, though my website is still there (and has maps!) -- Expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday around 10 am CT I have taken the WriTE Pledge, meaning that I will see this story to completion, no matter how many eons it may take.
