《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.

The fallen (?) hero and Aži Dahāka's soul fragment
I have to apologize.A certain real life problem that I thought I got rid of has caught up to me once again.I tried to continue writing, but my mind was not in the right track to do so and thus, as some people had said, the quality of the latest 2 chapters had turned from the usual "bad" to "worst". So, I reluctantly have to say that I will be away until I can sort things out.I can't say when, but I do intend to return to writing. I might lurk around to read other people's works though. I will be turning my attention to stories with "tragedy" and "despair". The five of us were summoned to this world from our clubroom two years ago to be made as heroes.Shouldn't forceful summoning like that be counted as kidnapping?Well, we chose to go with the heroes route.After harsh training and battles, not to mention all the killings, we finally defeated the demon lord.However, all those achievements literally became nothing, it wasn't just forgotten, it was erased to be totally nothing as even the written records were somehow being disposed of. I was too naive. Who would have thought that the side we have been fighting alongside with, the side we were fighting for, was the one to bring our demise?After I had to see everyone else turn into nothingness, somehow... I alone survived. Note: I will attempt to fix the grammar problem with the help of lieutenant colonel fletterman. This may delay the release of future chapter. Chapter 1 is fixed. Chapter 2 is fixed.

Deeds like jumping in front of a car to save a child. Like walking in to a burning building to save those inside. Like taking a bullet to save another. Save, this is the word that defines a hero, to save others at the cost of oneself. But what would happen if a hero was not made by his own actions but was instead forced in to situation that would eventually make him into a hero. What if everyone around you saw you as a hero, named you as a hero and looked upon you to save them from what was to come. Would you become a hero for them, or would you lash out against them for forcing you? This is a story about those that walks the road of a hero, and the one who makes his own path. Written in the classic """"Summoned heroes"""" style set in a fantasy world.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I hope you will enjoy it!Ps.
