Tash is nothing and no one. The monsters have taken everything from her. They slaughtered her family and destroyed her home. Tash prays for death to save her from the nightmare, but she's too stubborn to die.
Instead, she lives her life as a nomad—a wraith—wandering the wilderness, killing every monster she comes across. Her life is simple. Her purpose is obvious. Kill. Slaughter. Destroy. It doesn't matter where she goes. It doesn't matter if she dies. There is no one left in the world to care about her.
That is, until she meets Vidar. His kindness and hope are things Tash thought the monsters had destroyed years ago. But it's not just that. Vidar might very well be mad because he has a plan to defeat the monsters for good, and he wants Tash's help.
Will she allow herself to have hope again? Will she trust this stranger and his wild plan to save the world?

Discover Tash's World
Tash's world was inspired by the raw wilderness of scenes like the images below. The forested mountains of her world are untamed and beautiful but hide deadly monsters.
