Mothlight Kindle
Author: SunnySoldier
Character-driven portal fantasy. After eighteen years learning to seem normal, Aspen had almost convinced herself she could stay that way. But then again, normal girls usually don’t journal in treehouses and wait for the fairies to answer back. Still, things should have been good; Jamie texting to annoy her every thirty minutes, Mother working late, and her private world of blue mushrooms, sap, spirits, and fairies. Until there was a knock in the trees. The next time she wakes, it's in a stranger's corpse, coughing up ash in what should've been a bed. It was a cocoon, in a village carved into a dying god-tree, where identity is carried in scent and recognized before speech. She has none. No smell, not yet. The Hinterfolk know, instantly, that she should not exist. Not in her current form. But nobody asks where she came from. Instead, they call her by someone else's title, and she's worried that it's starting to fit. Home is starting to blur. Her mother's stern face is thinning at the edges. The wings at her back are beginning to feel less... borrowed. She has seven days to learn the rules of Hinter before he returns. The one who turned the body she's wearing into a corpse. The human in Aspen wants to burn. The sinner in her feels she deserves it. But the moth in her loves this. In Hinter, these moths don't burn. They follow the Fayya. ---------------------------- Updates: This is one of my many rotating hobbies (AuDHD). I can't (or effectively won't) be super consistent, although I'll try for a chapter a week. Expect periods of drought and pouring rain (multiple chapters in one day). That's just how it is.
