Lantern's Ash

To be fair, I'm terrible at writing these. It's just a story I wanted to get off my chest and see if some else enjoys it .

It's a first-person, found-family fantasy.
A 28ish-year-old genderless first-person, I tried at least. (You say male? Awsome! You say female? Nice! You say something in between? Even better! Choose what fits you.)

No magical beasts or magical races. Yes to magic.

A group of adults cares for and teaches orphaned children until they come of age. Now they get caught between two forces that misuse their symbols and rituals.

I hope I created a family that makes you feel the love and care; a world where you fall in as if transported, and a story that gives grit and wonder.

Trigger warning for:
Cursing, death (of a child), violence, blood, mutilation, torture, fighting.
