Dawn of the Ancient Great Beast

A slow‑burn fantasy where battles are lived, not just fought. Allen never wanted to be a hero—he only wants to keep his orphan companions safe in their hilltop home above Delmar. Life is harsh but familiar, until the woodlands stir with danger. Strange moss‑hoppers creep from the trees, forcing Allen and his family to defend their orphanage with slings, wits, and loyalty. This is a grounded tale of atmosphere and detail, where even the fiercest battles are felt through the roar of waves, and the whispered prayers of those who fight to survive. From the orphanage to the bustling docks of Delmar, Allen’s journey will test courage, cleverness, and the bonds worth fighting for, as powers both mortal and ancient wait beyond the horizon.
