[No Female Lead] [No Romance] [Western Fantasy] [Entirely Fictional Setting] [Ensemble Cast] [Slow Pace]
Over four hundred years, Rilavel went from a radiant savior to an immortal with nothing left.
The price was losing her companions, her family, and her homeland.
From then on, her heart became a primal stone and her blood turned to magic fluid. No one in this world could ever hurt her again.
As the once-prosperous Babel Tower descended into chaos and its people suffered terribly, she, who had always kept her distance from outsiders and wore a world-weary look as she devoted herself to doing nothing, was forced to set out on a new journey with her stubborn apprentice and a girl she had unexpectedly rescued.
Only this time, the journey did not seem to be going very smoothly.
Frequent visions, the trail of a mysterious church, and old acquaintances reunited, only to become enemies.
The church organization called the "Witch Hunters" seemed more like a bunch of lunatics blindly taking revenge on society. And when they uncovered the story behind the playing cards, the truth was heartbreaking...
The continent of Eno always had plenty of "surprises" in store.
Content warning:
This work differs from medieval Europe in real life! This includes, but is not limited to, the existence of some machinery, as well as a few regions and villages that deviate from the Western fantasy setting. Please don't read this as if it followed anything beyond the author's own worldbuilding! And please don't approach my personal worldbuilding with rigorous historical scrutiny!
Due to my personal preferences, more than 60% of the characters are women. The main group includes both men and women, but there are more women.
A huge ensemble cast! A really, really huge ensemble cast!
If this isn't to your taste, please feel free to skip it. I hope everyone finds a book they enjoy!
P.S. I won't flop, and I won't leave the story unfinished! Readers, please leave reviews. I'm so grateful!
This is the first Western fantasy novel I've actually been able to get into, and it's actually pretty good! 🥰🥰🥰
Personally, I think it's a good book. The overall feel, especially the female lead, is subtle and charming. It's a large ensemble piece that I really enjoy! It reads somewhat like a semi-road novel (especially the Lavinia storyline), with the protagonist encountering interconnected, independent short stories along the way. The only downside is the author's slow update speed! Please update soon! ×♾
The writing style is on the delicate side, and the slow pace of the traditional theme makes it quite enjoyable. I feel the author would have garnered more views if they wrote about less niche themes.
Excellent! The story is captivating, the pacing is perfect, and the character portrayals are delicate, making the characters three-dimensional and vivid. Overall, it's a very good watch!
The writing is delicate, and it portrays a wonderful ensemble of women, each with their own distinct characteristics. The only downside is that I can't remember some of their names 😢
It's a wonderful book, a truly rare find.
It's one of my favorite themes!
Wow, this is so well written! This is exactly what contemporary society is like!
