"As war tears her country apart, one young woman struggles to find her place in life." I'm a slow writer/updater with a busy life. English is not my native tongue, but I do my best and also have a lovely proofreader checking my writing :). I'm always happy about feedback, especially constructive critique :) Thank you for reading! If I use weird word choices, please tell me :D The map is hand-drawn and a cast was added. I consider adding illustrations later on. Chapter 1 is proofread/edited so far.
