Summary

Since she was a little girl, Velvet has been reading stories about great wizards and witches of Rumerra's past, wishing every night to wake up one day and be blessed with the affinity for magic herself. Unfortunately, the odds are stacked against her. Both her parents had no magic and thus the chances of her developing it are slim at best. But the gods of fate smile upon her one day when she receives her mark of light, thus becoming a light witch. Acquiring magic is only the first step, however. After this comes the grueling and life-long task of mastering it. We accompany the young witch as she sets out on a journey of self-discovery, full of magic and wonder - or so she thought. Velvet quickly starts realizing that the world of Rumerra is not like the worlds she got to know in her stories at all. Compared to her hometown of Simula, Rumerra at large is vast and unforgiving. From the frigid tundra of the Frozen North to the craggy hills of Eldrasit, and the vast forests of the elven lands, Velvet encounters mercenaries, dragons, and a vast array of other creatures, all of which seem eager to demonstrate that the world is far more cruel and unforgiving than she thought. Good and evil are not so easily told apart, not everyone is to be trusted, friends can die and a happy ending is all but guaranteed. Will Velvet be able to find her place in such a world?

About Rumerra

“It’s not really about the destination. The end goal is only there to prevent me from veering off too much. What I truly live for, is the journey itself. ”

~Velvet Crow on adventuring

Rumerra will be updated three times per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays!

I will most likely publish the entire book on Amazon before it is completed here, but will refrain from publishing it on Kindle Unlimited because their terms state that it can’t be published anywhere else. I want to leave it here for free for a while, so you all get the chance to read it before eventually putting it behind a paywall. You are my first readers and I want you to be rewarded for that.

This is a story that has been brewing in my head since the year 2012. It took me a decade to polish it to perfection and get it to this point. I haven’t written a single word until I knew all the conversations and events that take place and once I started writing I wrote all three books of the trilogy in one year. I lived in this world for longer than I can remember. Now I am inviting you to join me on a journey. Velvet’s journey. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.

The first book focuses mainly on Velvet’s youth. It is not as dark as the other two books in the series will be and is thus suitable for a younger audience as well. I still put the “mature” tag on it, because there is some profanity and gory scenes, but they are scarce and not described in such detail. You are safe...for now. Just know that I will not be so lenient in the other two volumes.

If you find yourself enjoying the story, I ask you kindly to help me out by voting on it. I wish for it to reach as many people as possible. That really is the ultimate award for any author, I believe. For people to get lost in their world and forget about their everyday worries, even if only briefly. This alone would make it all worthwhile for me.

Thank you for listening to my ramblings and reading my story!

Now, without further ado...

Let the journey begin!
