The House of Why

Your theories were right, my love: there is another world beyond the ice! If only you had survived the crossing... And now I'm alone in this land with its strange language and stranger magic. But never mind all that! I will find a way to bring your body home, my love, so that your soul can be called back to the mortal realm. So that we can be reunited. Going home will require me to gather resources and build influence with the local powers. Thankfully, there are a surprising number of opportunities here for a woman who can manipulate the aether like I can. In any other circumstances, I'd be tempted to stay and see what I might make of myself. But that would mean abandoning you, my love, my heart. And that is the one thing I can never do. Forever yours,Why Shollin What to expect:- A slow-burn fantasy told over eight novella-length journals- A powerful protagonist balancing brilliance, grief, and madness- Dynamic magic and a society built on advanced enchantments- A focus on intrigue, with almost no combat until Volume 3- An unreliable narrator, conflicting desires, and a whole heap of questionable decisions- Updates on Mondays and Thursdays
