Synopsis

A Tale of the Jade Road. (Original work, not MTL)
[Cross-posting to Wattpad and Royal Road.]
***
"I hurt, human children."
"I can take it from ye, if ye want."
"You cannot. He took them, and crushed them into blood. Take my hurt, you say? But it is all I have left of them."
*
Healer Yuen Sou Yuet has somehow found themselves saddled with a travelling companion, a gender-shifting, trouble-making necromancer. They're stuck with each other - Sou Yuet must undergo a trial to prove their worthiness as successor to the Yuen Mei School of Healing, whilst the necromancer essentially requires a parole officer after committing multiple crimes and continuously escaping imprisonment.
And so the unlikely duo travel from country to country, investigating the disappearance of legendary creatures across the world. The farther they go, the closer to home some of their revelations are.
***
What to expect:
* A meeting between Eastern and Western fantasy
* Daoist cultivation and Celtic magic
* Non-binary MCs
* Philosophising about life and death
***
The Tales of the Jade Road are a collection of stories set in the same universe, a historical East Asian-inspired fantasy world where the East and the West are linked by a long trading route, the Jade Road.
