Description: [edit] [history]

(WARNING: This book contains graphic descriptions of body horror, blood, gore, violence, and trauma based heavily on real-life medicine. Additionally, there is occasional profanity, alcohol, and drug use at various points. This is not a story for the faint-hearted, pursue it at your own risk!)

When a deadly plague arises in a metropolitan desert trading post called Ash, a healer is summoned by the city's oligarchical ruling class to uncover its cause and nature. The healer, Appo Ilonnorot, is an intelligent and highly skilled practitioner of the burgeoning field of medicine, though he is challenged both by the almost supernatural nature of the plague and the town's absence of medical literacy. With the help of Jere, a laconic mercenary with a mysterious past, Appo is forced to navigate local politics, ancient superstitions, and even the harsh desert environment in order to contain the plague before it becomes an epidemic.

__________________________

Author's Note: This is a slow-burn fantasy horror story I have been writing sporadically since 2020. While there are magic and supernatural elements scattered throughout, much of this story is inspired by actual historical medicine, in a foreign world where development is somewhere between Sumerian and Roman times.

As of 05/19/2023, Part I has been posted and uploaded onto RR. I very much consider the book a work in progress, and as such I always welcome and appreciate feedback and comments. Part II is currently being finished and edited, and will be posted in a few weeks. When I begin posting, chapters may come on Mondays and Thursdays.

Hope you all enjoy! -B
