In a world where all your properties are tattooed on your skin, Ink is a scarce resource, a symbol and a source of power. It is the machinery that propels the Empire. Wars are fought in its name. Blood is shed for a drop. Ink is the currency and the law.
Follow the story of Tarar as narrated by himself. His rise to fame and infamy.
Fall in love with his lovers, fight along his side, explore uncharted territories, and uncover the mystery behind the empire's most powerful tool; Ink.
Join Tarar in a frenetic journey of magic, action, and fantasy.
This is the rewrite of the original under the same name, also created by me as part of the Writathon challenge.
The fiction is a slow and progressive high fantasy story written in a novelistic style. As such, you can expect long chapters, around 3000 words each, with action (normally) self-contained. Releases are twice a week for the foreseeable future.
Steady pulse, precise strokes, may the Ink flow!May the Ink flow!
Victorious in battle, passionate in love, may the Ink flow!May the Ink flow!
Never yield, always persevere, may the Ink flow!May the Ink flow!
