Sometimes the greatest magic is found within, or merely in a mug of hot cocoa.
Gilly has always loved two things: plants and possibility.
Most goblins seldom leave home, but Gilly, whose vision is limited but whose curiosity is boundless, chooses a path of new growth. When she crosses the ocean to attend a horticulture practicum in the bustling, sun-warmed city of Waveford, she never expects how magic and myth will quietly reshape her life.
During her new life in Waveford, she visits the Selkiana Monastery, a quiet haven of hot springs, shimmering mist, stone gardens, scrolls, and quirky monks who tend the land. Something about the place speaks to her, and Gilly is drawn into a life she didn’t realize she’d been seeking.
Meanwhile, a long-held legend drifts through the pines; the mythical snow leopard has been sighted. An expedition, including her good goblin friend Ludash, are sent out chasing proof of the creature, but Gilly senses a deeper truth. Some magic thrives in mystery, and some wonders are meant to be held in respectful solitude.
As seasons pass at the monastery, Gilly finds meaning in everyday rituals: carving whimsical statues, tending bees, learning new crafts, sharing meals, and walking the forest trails. And hidden within the mist, the guardian of the mountain keeps vigil, watching and waiting for the right moment.
Because some journeys don’t lead outward…they lead inward.
Discover the world of Larune where slice-of-life tales and furry companions offer friendship and comfort to the weary soul. For those who enjoy self-discovery, reflective moments, and low-stakes adventure in a charming, rustic setting.
