WIP Intro: The Song of Exile
Form: Interactive fiction (ChoiceScript-based quest)
Genre: low-fantasy, queer
Status: First draft (in-progress)
Blurb:
Once, you had a bright future in front of you: one of the most brilliant students of the healing arts, not to mention a child of the man who changed the course of a civil war, you seemed to be destined to be a physician to princes and a power behind thrones. Instead, a great scandal with darkness at its heart lands you in a semi-genteel exile in service to a minor household in the far North. However, what seems to be a place of silent, grave-like peace soon turns out to be anything but. The countryside is still bearing the scars of the war; the hearts are brimming with old grudges, and the woods are teeming with outlaws. Politicking doesn’t cease just because of the physical distance from the court, either. And, of course, there is the matter of your new master – a warrior-nobleman who seems to have come into his inheritance mercilessly early. He seems a quiet and capable leader to his men, impervious to pain, but he has scars and secrets of his own…
