    A tale of swords, magic, and a cute spider.

    AUTHOR'S NOTE: The structure of the story has been changed. What was once Part One of Voidsinger is now a standalone prequel titled The Redsong Saga: Overture. What was planned to be Part Two of Voidsinger will now be the beginning of Voidsinger, allowing room for more adventure as the story continues. I hope you enjoy this taste of what's to come.

    The Redsong Saga tells the story of Saga Rose, an adventuring bard who is caught up in the return of an ancient evil. Inducted into a secret order tasked with stopping it, she must travel the world of Chorana, making friends, gathering allies, and increasing her own power, all in the hopes of being able to end the growing threat before it's too late. Along the way she'll encounter monsters, bandits, cultists, and more, and she'll need all of her strength, magic, and wits to overcome the challenges they present and solve the mystery of the Voidsong.

    What to expect:

    1. Traditional epic fantasy inspired by the likes of The Lord of the Rings, The Wheel of Time, The Stormlight Archives
    2. Action, adventure, comedy, and a touch of romance
    3. Themes of hope, determination, and forgiveness
    4. A slow burn, introducing a carefully crafted world to (hopefully) fall in love with
    5. A cute jumping spider who likes to wear hats

    Schedule: I intend to post a chapter every Thursday, work and mental health willing. Depending on how the chapters are coming out I may start posting more often.

    Content warning: This (planned) trilogy will touch on some dark subject matter, including death and mental health, and will have some suggestive themes. There will be depictions of violence, disfigurement, and dismemberment. This is not a YA story.
