Wergild

Adrian is a small framed scholarly teen, born and raised in a world where warriors and brute strength define one's worth. Living under the large shadow of his father, Pherick, the village's beloved guildsmen and head trainer, Adrian finds himself labeled as an outcast from society, finding solace and the only thing he's good at, writing. The Novella tackles some heavy topics such as, religion, reality within the theory of simulacra, that steadily delves deeply into a meta-fictional narrative that honors the relationship between gods, authors, and their fictional creations. For those not caught up on the multiple layers one can pull from the narrative, the story arc itself is filled with adversity! A lovable and flawed protagonist must unravel the conniving plot of a fast talking and forked tongue Uncle, who looks to be plotting some sort of plan to tear apart his family.
