Synopsis
Fire took Vander's brothers in arms, along with his pride and his courage. Now he flees those memories, wandering the land with his misbegotten companions – the apostate priestess, the vengeful outlander, and the elderly gnome (who refers to himself as a wizard). The Sephis Cycle is a high fantasy adventure, which follows these ragtag friends as they rise in the world, gaining a reputation for skill and bravery. Their quests will pit them against brigands, assassins, cultists, and beasts with jaws of stone! And darker things. Ancient, unyielding...devouring.
This story is inspired by classic RPG tie-in novels. It takes place in an original setting called Thindul. Maps and lore can be found at World of Thindul.

Progress Update
4/5/2024: Holy cow. I...think I actually finished. My revision of the last section is complete. The chapters will start going live tonight! After that, I'll be working on a comprehensive revision of the text as a whole, including another round of edits and updates to the already published chapters. Most likely, I will eventually self-publish on other/additional platforms, but all details there are still very much under consideration.
