Long Wandered

The roads between worlds are breaking.

When young mapmaker Mina Vale steps aboard The Wren-a walking house that strides across the sky on birdlike legs-she discovers a universe stitched together by forgotten paths, living memories, dreaming moons, sleeping giants, and islands that drift between reality and legend.

Her guide is the mysterious Wayfarer, an ancient traveller who has spent longer than anyone can remember keeping the roads of existence from falling apart. But every journey reveals another secret, and every destination uncovers a piece of a forgotten past that even the Wayfarer can no longer fully remember.

Together they cross enchanted forests where memories grow like fruit, cities suspended by kites, valleys where giants dream beneath the hills, gardens that trap moments in glass, and lighthouses that rescue lost stars from the dark. Along the way, Mina learns that maps are more than directions-they are acts of remembrance.

But beyond every road lies a final path.

And at the end of that path waits a promise made long ago.

Filled with wonder, gentle humour, unforgettable characters, and the spirit of a timeless fairy tale, Long Wandered is a beautifully imagined fantasy about memory, friendship, grief, hope, and the courage to keep moving forward-even when the road leads home.
