DIE ASHEN WYRD KAMPAGNE

These stories were performed, night after night.
Whether they become books,
is up to you.

PLAYED . LIVED. READY .

The Ashen Wyrd Chronicles are Urban Dark Romantasy:
Stories about women whom darkness finds.
They weren't invented at a desk.
They were played, for years, night after night,
with everything that goes with it: characters, abysses, endings.

Now they can be written down.
Not through publishers. Through you.
The campaign starts when enough of you show
that you want these books.

Sign up. That's all you have to do.
When it starts, you'll be the first to know.

PLAIN SPEAKING

Enter at your own risk:

The Ashen Wyrd Chronicles are not light stories for a quick read.
This universe is dark, uncompromising, and morally deep gray.
We do not censor, we do not sugarcoat, and we do not hold back.

The lines between care and captivity, between
love and obsession, between devotion and systematic destruction
are constantly blurred here. If you are looking for stories
where morality always triumphs and heroes are flawless, you are in the wrong place.

For everyone else: Welcome to the darkness.
