Synopsis
**Volumes 1 and 2 are now fully published, volume 3, the final volume, is in progress and updating daily, all free to read**
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.

*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!
Jump into a world of mystery and fantasy. This story starts off in a small farming community and let’s you fall in love with the main character and her companions. The writing quality is superb and the world building is well rounded. Enjoy this treasure of Webnovel.
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!
Wow, the author was so right in her synopsis! (By her request and my own honesty, this is all I can say 🤭)
So first of all the synopsis is so good i really love the novel.i just started reading it today and its'sso amazing the way author explain so smoothly.of course a five star hidden gem,don't know why it's kept hidden✨
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.
This novel is very interesting. It really makes the reader feel engaged. The story is interesting and the writing style is nothing I have ever seen before. Keep up the good work!
This is a fairly good novel overall, it's written well enough to not annoy or offend ones's sensibilities, even if it's also not written well enough to do much else. The story for as far as I've read has been decently gripping, enough so that I'll continue reading this. Hoping for more great things from you author! P.S: While I'd say the chapters are too short, it's made up for by quantity, so it doesn't end up as any real issue.
This really is like a hidden gem. I love your writing style and naming sense (ノ= ⩊ = )ノ! The story has over 100 chapter and I really don't get how this is not featured more. The writing quality and update stability are excellent! People into some fantasy romance like me should definitely give this a go. Author, keep up the good work! Meanwhile, I am going to catch up with your 100+ released chapters (>ᴗ•).
The first third like to say about this book is that the descriptions are too notch, you can see that the author has put a lot of effort to make the reader picture everything without any difficulty, which in my opinion is something that is really hard to do. So respects and salutes to the author on that. Also I love how the story has been pacing it kinds reminds me of a mountain you can slowly see the story get heated and its awesome, like the peace before the storm is what I would describe this story.
I think this novel its like a flower waiting to bloom and show her full splendor,so yeah author please continue updating and showing us your talent and work your work is an amazing piece of work,and i'm looking forward to what you will write
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.
