    Summary

    Beyond the Serpent’s Spine lies a land steeped in amber and ruin—a realm where the Cycle falters and whispers coil like mist. When Struana crosses into the Dread Wastes, she finds herself ensnared in a game older than empires… and bound to those she once called enemies.
    At first, the thought of working for the Klaxxi fills her with revulsion. Yet as the Dread Wastes unravel before her eyes, Struana learns that the greatest divide between their kind lies not in strength, but in culture.

    A lore-faithful retelling of the Dread Wastes questline, woven with cultural nuance, character study, and a bond that defies simple definition. No clear pairings—only a profound connection on an emotional plane. Expect drama, moral conflict, and battles written with visceral intensity.
    Major character death ahead. The Cycle demands its price.
    (Originally begun in 2013—finally brought to completion.)
