36 parts Ongoing Mature
They swung open the cage door, cattle prods at full power, humming with electricity. The man lazily lifted his hands in surrender. "Now, now." He said softly. His voice was like velvet. "No need. I'll do as you please." The man in the cage said, his eyes straying to her. "You know what it is we want beastling." The man with the pale eyes said. The caged man shot him a glance, something dancing just below the surface of his calm, relaxed demeanor. The air in the room was electric. The man locked eyes with her, sending a shiver through her whole body. She felt like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf- struggling, but doomed. Then, his eyes still on hers, he began to change. --- When Theophania Pennrose arrives in Ilaross, a tiny town tucked away in the recesses of the Alaskan wilderness, she is under the impression that she's simply there to visit her dear younger brother Dimetreaus. But as her stay extends, the wildlife comes knocking at their door and paints warnings on the windows. She finds herself trapped in the eternal night of winter with the wolves circling, intent on making her theirs. But Theo's petals are unfurling, and the end result may be more beautiful and bloody than any of them imagined. --- Marked Mature for mature themes. War In Embers is a currently completed script in its final iteration, spanning 51 chapters + a prologue and bonus content. This means that scheduled updates will not be missed, as while the work is not fully released, it is fully completed. New releases will go up every single Friday (Noon, MST) for 46-47 weeks, making our projected end date April 18th, 2025. However, this end date is flexible in that it can come sooner as interest and engagement demands. Assuming engagement, I will increase scheduling to every Monday AND Friday, or even every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, meaning the completed work will be available 2-3 times faster than initially projected.
