In a world nothing like our own, many races coexist - elves, goblins, vampires, werewolves, the rarest of dragons, dwarves, the greatest of beast-like beings known as the Anthroposes, and humans. And not a single hobbit! Though settlements of halflings were once quite common in these lands. But the absence of hobbits is hardly the world's greatest problem. Strange things have begun to unfold across every continent. And the cause of it all is the Fracture, which has profoundly changed the lives of old Frida and young Leo. To uncover why the boy is plagued by suffocating dreams of a life not his own, and why the elderly woman seems to drift into fantasy with every puff of her pipe, this unlikely duo, alongside Midax, a scientist goblin, sets out on a long and uncertain journey. We release new chapters every ten days—on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month.
