Synopsis

A failed wormhole experiment stranded Gilly in a realm beyond comprehension—Elador, a land where magic reigns and strength determines fate. Her memories fractured and her body altered, she wakes in the strange town of Elnor bearing pointed ears, glowing eyes, and a face she doesn’t recognize. The townspeople whisper that she resembles a forgotten Elven Queen, but Gilly knows something doesn't add up—she wasn't born of this world.

As she trains to survive, Gilly begins unlocking abilities that defy explanation. Her journey takes her through trials of blood, memory, and will—facing monsters, both within and without. With the guidance of mysterious allies and the discovery of an ancient artifact bound to her soul, Gilly’s presence begins to stir long-dormant powers. Yet with each answer she finds, darker forces close in—fearing what she might awaken, or already has.

Note from author

I’ve always caught myself daydreaming about strange worlds, fantastical roles, and impossible adventures — so I decided to turn those wandering thoughts into a story, giving others a peek into the worlds in my head. What you’ll read is mostly fantasy with a touch of science fiction, shaped by the way these ideas naturally unfold in my mind. It’s not a fast-paced tale; in fact, it might move slower than most stories out there (maybe even a little too slow for some), but if you stick with it, I promise the journey will be worth it.

Story writing and telling isn’t my full-time path — so there may be breaks when life calls — but I’ll always do my best to prepare in advance so that any space during my absence won’t be felt. Thanks for being part of the ride.
