The ancient world of Saliorah is a powder keg on the precipice of war. Fueled by petty politics and the ambitions of man, it falls upon the common man to take matters into their own hands. 

When a mythical tree creature is reincarnated, a warband of plucky adventurers must toe the line between friend and foe if they wish to see the next dawn. When man chooses violence over diplomacy, it falls upon creatures of balance to put man's ambitions to rest. 

What can one person do when the dogs of war begin to bark at the gates?

After coming to terms with her past, Ember managed to not only save herself, but existence after she and her friends defeated Ankou who was hell bent on dominating or destroying all the realms. But sadly, he left destruction in his wake. After being shown the dead lands, places where his evil actually suffocated the realm, Ember and her crew were working on righting his many wrongs. They united the FaeFolk, brought Dires back into Fae and now on top of healing the realm, they've decided to bring back her people. Fae was once home to many Folk of magical origin. The wild magic made them strong and proud. But many saw the potential in Ankou's assault and left their homeland forever. Fleeing his tyrannical onslaught and savagery. Ember and company have made it their mission to bring the lost fae home. But as with any good idea, there are obstacles to face before it becomes a reality. Will the Faefolk even want to return home? What if they can't be found? Are they only in the land of humans? What other realms could they possibly dwell in? What obstacles must be faced? Come along on the adventure as Ember discovers all that out and more. What new races will they find? Can they restore Fae at all? How can one girl who is still figuring out who she is restore an entire realm? Will Ember blaze into glory or will she fall to ash?

✧ Note: THIS IS AN ORIGINAL WORK! Some chapters may include strong language and voilence. Also, NO ROMANCE so ya'll can chop chop if you are expecting some lovely dovely slow romance. ⇶3 chaps per week! know that every chap after the first five will be around 2-3k words. Now you are free to read the synopsis and maybe give my silly, shiny novel a try? I swear it gets better as chaps go by- (⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠) ─────────────────── Reincarnation. A second chance at life-one that should have been filled with endless possibilities, an opportunity to start fresh, to carve out a new fate. For some, it might be a miracle. A blessing. For him? Fate, as it turned out, had a cruel sense of humor. Instead of waking up in a grand palace or with a life of luxury, he was abandoned. His first breath in this world was thick with rot. His first sight was filth. His first lesson was pain. He was abandoned-left to waste away in a place where only the forgotten remained. A nameless child in a world that never wanted him. If not for Allyn, the ever-watchful voice in his mind, he would have died long ago. But even with her guidance, one truth became undeniable. This world-his new world-was dangerous. It felt too familiar. Its rules, its lands-whispers of something buried deep in his mind, just out of reach. And if that wasn't bad enough, the world he was thrown into wasn't just any world. He knew this world. And it was destined for ruin. That was a problem. Because while he didn't care about the people in it-well, maybe a few-he did care about the world itself. After all, where else was he supposed to slack off? And if he wanted to survive, he would have to be careful. And if that meant rewriting destiny itself? So be it. ─────────────────── ✧【 Like this beautiful creation of mine? if so, please support by gifting shiny cookies (votez) (≧◡≦)//
