《Wander West, in Shadow》Synopsis
Advertisement
WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD
Overall synopsis:
The village of Pike's Green is devastated by a brutal raid, carried out by the forces of the White Queen, an enigmatic sorceress whose heart of power lies far to the west. After defending their village, a band of young men journeys forth to join the war against her, leaving behind their home to venture into danger and the unknown.
This is not their story.
Years later, the Queen's War is over. The White Queen lies dead, though the land still bears the scars of her cruelty. This is a story of Martimeos, a wizard, and the younger brother of one of the men who left Pike's Green to join the war. His brother, unfortunately, never returned, and no one is certain what has happened to him, though most assume he is dead.
So Martimeos sets forth into lands wild and untamed, through places that bear the fading echoes of the catastrophic Queen's War, in search of his brother - even if all he expects to find at the end of his journey is an answer to how his brother died. Along the way, he meets new companions with dark pasts of their own. And slowly, as he follows the trail, he begins to learn of what his brother did during the war, and the sort of man he was.
BOOK ONE
THE GLIMMERLING:
We join Martimeos already some part of the way into his journey. He has searched the lands some time for his brother, but finds that the trail has grown cold. On the dubious advice of a daemon, he journeys to the cursed lakeside village of Silverfish. Along the way, he meets the swamp-witch Elyse, who proves an odd but reliable companion, one who insists on following him seemingly on a whim, though it becomes clear that she holds secrets of her own. As they journey to Silverfish, they find that its curse is dark indeed. Together, they face the origins of the village's tragedy.

THE BOGGE-RIDER:
Having won a clue to his brother's trail from Silverfish, Martimeos and Elyse journey together now to the town of Twin Lamps. They find the town terrorized and the farmlands haunted by a dread dark rider, fond of beheading his victims, one who wields grim and mysterious powers. They meet Kells, an easy-going member of the town guard, who agrees to guide them about the town and aids them in Martim's search for his brother's trail. But as Martimeos searches for clues about his brother, the dark rider's attacks only grow more bold and terrible, and it becomes clear that, whoever it is, Martim will not be able to move on from the town until the mysterious rider is dealt with.
HADLEY:
Moving on from Twin Lamps, Martimeos journeys with Kells and Elyse into the mountainous lands of the Crosscraw - barbarians who had served the White Queen, the very folk that bought ruin to his village of Pike's Green all those years ago. There he finds them hunted and pursued, slaughtered to near extermination, by a dark creature known as the Bogge-King. Martimeos struggles as he finds constant reminders of his painful past amongst the shattered remnants of the Crosscraw - and discovers the ultimate fate of one of his brother's traveling companions, who disappeared in the fire and fury of the Queen's War.

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

What?! The world outside the village is full of villains.
Saulo Delanova is a young Amish. He doesn't use electricity, travels by horse and carriage, and eats what he sows in a community with a traditional lifestyle, rural and voluntarily separated from modern society. A community that for foreign eyes is frozen in time. When he decides to experience the modernity that he heard so much about the cities outside of his region, a theft forces him to stop on his way to the capital city. The situation would be manageable if it weren't for a detail. In his community they live under the principles of nonviolence! In a world where each being is born with an identifying color, can summon a weapon and fight with the power of the elements -or what is known as trinity or three characteristics of a user-, villains abound because of this power that each person can easily use. Ignorant of the life in the country's most important city, Saul will have to face culture shock to adapt to this outside world unknown to him, and to the people and events that will make him fall into the bowels of the world of temptations.
