Of The Wilds is a dark fantasy of ancient guardians, borrowed flesh, and a world beginning to fracture beneath its own forgotten history. For centuries, Mavros-the primordial protector of the Wilds-has been unable to awaken from an unnatural slumber. Bound to the earth while his spirit wanders, he feels the land itself grow restless, roots whispering of an approaching danger buried deep within the world's foundations. Something is wrong, and even a being older than empires cannot name it. When Mavros encounters Leon, a dying noble cast into the river after a brutal abduction, fate intervenes. Leon alone can see him. In a desperate bargain, Mavros takes refuge in the young man's body, granting Leon rest while gaining the means to walk beyond the Wilds and seek the source of the earth's warning. But the flesh resists its new occupant, bleeding and breaking as memories surface of torture, prophecy, and a terrifying title-the Herald. As shadowed forces continue their hunt and the land's unease grows louder, Mavros must uncover why Leon was taken, what the Herald truly is, and whether the danger stirring beneath the world is the same force that put even a god to sleep. The Wilds are awake. And something ancient has been forced to walk again.

In the depths of a secluded forest, a solitary old man stumbles upon a gravely injured youth, though not just any ordinary child. Devoting himself to the care and recovery of the boy, the man eagerly awaits his awakening, only to find that the youth's memory has been mysteriously erased. Embracing the newfound responsibility, the old man adopts the nameless boy as his own, naming him Jack. Years pass, and Jack matures into a poised and capable young man, content in his tranquil existence far from civilization. Yet, an unshakeable sense of disquiet gnaws at him, compelling him to seek answers from his adoptive father. Before he can unravel the enigma of his identity, tragedy befalls them, Jack wakes up in an unfamiliar place, far removed from the familiar sanctuary of their forest abode. Thus commences Jack's odyssey, to unearth the secrets of his lineage and reclaim the familial bond severed by fate. Embarking on a journey fraught with peril and discovery, Jack ventures into the unknown, determined to reclaim his past and forge a future of his own choosing.
