Hello my friends! I'd like to let you know that I am working on another story in collaboration with my lovely wife.

You may be familiar with our previous collaboration, Spawn of Bul'Thusil. Before that, however, we also wrote a largely unpublished fantasy novel together following two young women as they try to escape the clutches of a lycanthropic cult. This new story is a partial sequel to that story, taking place in the same fantasy world but set 40 years in future.

The synopsis for the new story is as follows: Forty-years have passed since the fall of Guardian's Keep, where the Ring of Lycas was ultimately destroyed. Rather than helping to bring about a more peaceful Age, the ring's destruction only served to darken the world further. The artifact unleashed a wellspring of transformative energy that left no corner of the land untouched, seeping into countless innocents and mutating them into vicious werewolves. This plague of lycanthropy proved overwhelming, and resulted in more than one kingdom falling to the rampaging packs in what has become known as The Collapse. Now, only a handful of settlements remain, populated with the hardened survivors and their descendants and managing against all odds to keep the spark of civilization burning.

Jael Naevsyn, one such descendant, responds to an urgent plea from the lonely town of Midrith. Hailing from the Coven of Cinder-Souls, a loose collective of witches with an affinity for elemental fire, Jael has spent her life cultivating great power alongside her sisters. It is exactly for this reason that the Lord of Midrith, a nobleman by the name of Trynn Gaddard, sought the coven's aid. Flanked by two rival packs of werewolves, the Wailing Cliff and the Howling Winds, Midrith finds itself increasingly under siege by the latter, its resources dwindling with each successive raid. Desperate, Lord Gaddard promises Jael and her coven whatever coin remains in Midrith's treasury, but only if she can halt the attacks and cull both packs.

Jael accepts Lord Gaddard's bargain, promising to deliver the people of Midrith from their terrible plight. Secretly, however, the young witch pursues an ulterior motive...

I plan on uploading the rest of the original story that spawned this sequel (the first chapter was uploaded 7 years ago and is entitled The Mark) but each chapter will be posted to my Patreon first, where it will remain an exclusive for a period of 3 months. After that time, the chapters will be posted here for the rest of the community to enjoy.

The original story is just shy of 300 pages and liberally sprinkled with TF content, so it will take a little time to get it all posted.

I'm hoping the sequel we're working on now will be just as expansive. ^.^

Best Regards,
Obsidian
