The Compass Bearers of Alluria

The endless Grey? Soul-crushing. 

The advertisement's ancient promise—sunshine?

Surprisingly real.

At sixteen, Gwain is "restructured" out of a job. Ignoring his family’s warnings of a millennia-old scam, he trades the Grey Continent for the Wilds of Alluria to find a better life in the Magistrate’s city. But the ad's “free” gear isn't a gift. It's an invitation—and getting there requires faith.

Now, in a land that reshuffles like a living puzzle, Gwain must choose: follow a compass that seems to defy all logic he's known, or trust his own instincts and risk being lost forever. One wrong turn in Alluria doesn't just delay the journey—it risks a permanent encounter with the Magistrate's enemies.

Gwain’s reality is about to be thoroughly unhorsed, because here, the unicorns are anything but equestrian.
