The Name of the Wind meets Berserk in an evocative epic fantasy about growing up and fighting gods.
Currently being serialized online!

When I was a child, I watched my mother kill a dragon only to have her own body burnt and mutilated beyond recognition. Mourning the loss of my fathers, my brothers, we survived on the flesh of that dead dragon while my mother clung to life, deaf and dumb and blind to the world. I defied the gods who tried to take her. I’ve since devoted my life to murdering your gods and their servants, watching them scream for mercy. I have butchered their priests and now wage war against an empire. You know me. You traveled a lifetime to find me.

My name is Luna.

Come, hear the story of my mother. Dragonslayer, savior, and, finally, goddess to my people. Hear how I watched them flay the humanity from her, how they twisted her every action into prophecy, into ritual. Hear my howling loss, and I will tell you how nations and gods descended upon my mother to claim her, rip her away from me, make her avatar of their own desires, talisman of their own power. Make her anything but my mother.
