That's it, the shoutout above. It's called The Owl's Bastard, set in a bronze-age fantasy setting. Early readers have said it has a Witcher-y vibe. It's about an emo wizard and the dick sidekick he enspells on the way.

  It's a different style than Archive, told in 3rd POV. It's a dark fantasy edging on Grimdark, and if you're into a brooding traveler who resists looking at his past until he can't, anymore, it might be for you. It's got some magic and some supernatural goings-on. A lot of Romanian mythology, tweaked for the world, and a bunch of myths I made up to fit the tale.

  If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  Regardless of any of that, thanks for reading and rating Archive. I hope you're enjoying the story.
