<p>Beneath the sky of worms, Insect Gods rule the subterranean world of Brightlyre.</p> <p>The Silkmoth God by the name 'Heart' has spent eight millennia alone atop a cloud-piercing mountain, weaving and sewing and playing songs to herself. She does not know what her own name means, how she got atop her mountain, or how to descend to the surface. Her memories are splotchy. Her wings do not work. She fears one wrong slip would kill her – so she has never tried to leave.</p> <p>But, one night, a crack opens above her head. Her mountain burns and the earth quakes beneath her feet, her eternity of peace shattered in a battle between powerful Insect Gods. With nowhere left to hide, she is forced to venture down in search of a new home, armed with only a sewing needle and what she believes is the weakest magic in the world.</p> <p>… Brightlyre sees the descent of its final Insect God.</p> <p>What to expect:</p> <p>An emotional and fiercely determined protagonist who sews, plays songs, and fights with a sewing needle. A seamstress-songstress-swordstress with silkmoth abilities.</p> <p>A massive insect-based fantasy world explored through lots of travelling, inspired by Arabic/Spanish/Chinese/Celtic cultures. This is a travel-heavy story. Characters move from place to place between arcs, making for a story with lots of character and landscape illustrations, all AI-made and then edited by me.</p> <p>A shared world with 'The Worm of Brightlyre' and 'The Centipede of Brightlyre'. It isn't necessary to read all three to understand what happens in one, however. There is no read order. Each story can be read completely standalone and you won't miss out on anything.</p> <p>If you like ultra-long fantasy epics with heavy adventure and mystery elements, 'The Moth of Brightlyre' might just be the right story for you.</p> <p>(This is a rewrite of 'World Concept - H' book 1, so the chapters are already fully written! Updates bi/daily until book 1 is finished!)</p>
