Description

Remy never meant to climb the Tower. They only wanted to disappear...

To escape a past clawing at their heels and a future already out of reach. But in a world ruled by status and privilege, power dictates freedom, and disappearing isn't so easy. Not when you accidentally get bound to a team of volatile strangers, each with secrets of their own and reasons to survive the climb.

Among them: A brilliant, sharp-tongued caster, A protective, deadly swordsman with something to prove, and a shapeshifter with a bear problem and a bigger heart. Together, they must navigate an adaptive, parasitic enemy that threatens to overwrite who they are, but not all monsters have teeth and claws. Some look like old friends, others, like mirrors.

This isn't a story about heroes. It's about people trying not to break under the weight of desperate decisions.

Expect:

Chapters: 5500-7500 words each, released weekly on Wednesdays.

🌿 A slow-burn, character-driven fantasy with heavy emotional themes, including grief and mental health.⚔️ Strategic combat, political intrigue, and dangerous alliances.💔 Found family, fractured bonds, and romantic relationships that refuse to stay simple.🧠 Internal conflict, trust, and the cost of letting someone past your walls.💬 Snarky banter and vulnerable conversations.🌐 Expanding lore, factions, and a unique magic system.🌈 Queer/LGBTQIA+ main characters with complex identities and slow-building, emotionally rich relationships.

Author Note: This series is loosely based on a DnD campaign I ran a while back, and isn't focused on ascention trials as much as the events taking place on each floor. Don't expect an emphasis on ascention trials.

Book 1 is complete. Book 2 is ongoing.

Really amazing so far! So intriguing, I love the characters, so much sass. Remy is so complex with her thoughts and actions. She's struggling between emotion and logic. Dent is a giant love bug and adorable I adore him. Val is such a hotty bad boy. And Eshlyn has been the most complex given her background and initial introduction, she turned out to be extremely thoughtful and caring. I really like how different all the characters are but have common interests and find themselves needing eachother. Every chapter is so detailed and the imagery is really great. I can imagine what everything looks like easily. The dialog is so whitty and funny. I love the subtle romance and relationships building. I've read a lot of fan fics and fantasy and I can tell that this book has a great foundation and ability to evolve into a long series. I hope the author writes more chapters I think this book will build so well. I have to have a 200 word minimum.... soo... I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val, I love Val.... 200 yeah!
