The Circle Of Wind
During a harsh winter, a dragon-like storyteller named Skimleshanks appears at a tavern, befriending the locals and enchanting them with the tale of two lives, marked by pain and loss, running on parallel tracks... Bella, a young woman from the human city of Hellania, dreams of becoming a warrior but is constrained by societal expectations. After her family is destroyed, she joins a guild of thieves where she hones her skills while facing moral dilemmas. At the same time, in another corner of the world, Kethlys, born into a Northman family, faces tragedy when her family is killed, and she is enslaved. Once rescued, she begins training as a Shaman guided by her mentor and her Watcher spirit, starting a journey that will lead her to great changes and adventures. Both protagonists grapple with their roles in society and the moral implications of their actions, while larger threats, such as a deadly plague and ancient evils, loom in the background...
