[ROUGH DRAFT] Wren has always chased treasure, not gods or glory, just enough gold to keep the past buried. But when an amnesiac god crosses his path, everything changes. Wren finds himself caught in a dangerous bond he neither trusts nor understands. Shadows of grief, memory, and prophecy follow their every step. And in the brewing war between islanders and mainlanders, Wren begins to question whether the greatest threat is not the gods above, but the humans who walk beside him. An epic of longing, power, and the weight of inheritance, Great Spirits is a queer fantasy that asks what we owe the past and what we might become if we dare to remember it. _______________________________________ @Aphrodite270 for the beautiful cover design!
