⚠️This Woman Is A Complete Disaster⚠️

OC: Quincy (She/They)

IN PERPETUUM: A dark fantasy/horror about Lazenwyn Atwater, a trans man who cannot die. Hunted for the spectacle of his curse, hiding in dark woods crawling with monsters, Laz wanders through his world encountering friend, foe, and others as he tries to find meaning in a life that will not end.

This one’s going to be an ongoing sort of meandering world-building project. I’ve written about 6,000 words of disjointed scenes featuring Laz, and i think that’ll probably be how things continue. Less structure than The Creed of Gethin trilogy, more just raw VIBES.

Inspirations: Hellraiser, Outlast, Resident Evil, Dark Souls/Elden Ring, Blasphemous, all those cringe-ass gothic horror movies from the 2000s/2010s (Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters, Underworld, Van Helsing, Dracula Untold, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen)

Weirdly, this one will feature very little overt religious trauma references.

#my shit #in Perpetuum #tw blood #tw gore #tw body horror #this one is going to be like actual horror lol #everything I’ve written so far is pretty gross #heavy on the medical and body horror #as well as like creature stuff #I’m very excited about the stuff i could do #who is this for? Idk i really don’t think there’s an audience for this one so much lol #this one is for me

“Nothing about this is right, but you know what I always say? What’s happened has happened, and nobody can change it.”

The Unwanted Prophet by Carolina Cruz

#the unwanted prophet #the creed of gethin #the creed of gethin trilogy #my characters #my art #my shit #you gotta be your own fandom somtimes #make your own edits #be your own biggest fan #Quincy’s mantra is actually so important to me tho #i made it for her but it’s become my own anti-anxiety stronghold ever since #it honestly keeps me sane and stops my spiraling most days #when i say quincy saved my life it’s entirely because of her mantra and how she clings to it #also i really just wanted to use all this art #i have so much art for the series might as well make melodramatic edits

Some sketches to illustrate some of my favorite gethinist lore from The Unwanted Prophet! I describe these masks in the book, and I’ve included some that are worn by specific characters: Including Quincy’s lion, Gethin’s human skull, and Luis’ anatomically incorrect cat! The Days of Life are an extremely important part of the story to me, and are based a lot off my experiences visiting family in Puerto Rico during the holiday season.

Also yes, that IS Wes under the mask in the corner

I think the song Rejoice by AJJ the band suits the Unwanted Prophet really well. It's kind of a frantic rhythm but I think that beat and a lot of the lyrics suit the philosophy of the story.

Oh man!!! I listened to it and I totally agree, it's on the playlist now! It feels very Quincy and also very Arvin tbh. Gosh. Good stuff thank u very much

#lowkey considered putting it on the Friend of Gods playlist cuz of one line #but while i think it fits the whole trilogy i definitely feel like it fits prophet best #the unwanted prophet #the creed of gethin #my stuff #anon #ask

An assassin and a magical bard walk into a bar...

The second book of the Creed of Gethin trilogy, the Forgotten Lyric, is out now! Ostensibly a standalone, Lyric introduces a wonderful cast of characters and sets the stage for the final installment.

If you're looking for a queer fantasy to cozy up with this fall, this might be the one for you! Check it out!

GUESS WHAT GAMERS

Book 2 of the Creed of Gethin trilogy has a release month! And god willing, a release DAY will follow shortly!

This is your cue: if you need to catch up on the world and the happenings in it before release date, you have plenty of time to read the one and only Unwanted Prophet before book 2 drops. A story of death and his criminal prophet, my first book can be found here

More info, a proper cover reveal, and all that to come. If you want to meet the characters ahead of time, feel free to check my blog for the Asa and Kennet tags, where i have plenty of art and funny posts that remind me of them.

See ya’ll in august!

When I initially wrote Prophet I wasn't planning on writing more in the setting but now it's the first in a trilogy! As such, it's getting a shiny new cover design (plus minor edits) to reflect that there is, in fact, more to the story.

The new cover design should be in my hands next week and then I figure I'll release the new edition sometime mid-may. Once that happens the paperback version will receive a small price increase. So if you want the reduced price, nows the time! Get the first edition here

The Creed of Gethin trilogy is a dark fantasy saga about a prophet of Death, a bard with the power to alter emotion, and a band of assassins working through a LOT of interpersonal drama. The Unwanted Prophet is out now, and the second book, The Forgotten Lyric, releases the first week of August 2023!

DECLARATION OF INTENT

Working title is Time Lost but it'll definitely change.

This started as one of my short stories from the Creed of Gethin (and the character will still feature in a less involved vignette) but now it's spun out of control into a full blown novel.

Set in the Wild West of Bladland, 200 years after the events of The Unwanted Prophet, Time lost will feature the first Prophet of Death since Quincy - it will follow this prophet on a darker, more horrific adventure with the usual godly shenanigans.

I'm really excited to have a solid concept that I'm interested in writing after this trilogy, especially something more geared towards horror. Inspirations are Midnight Mass, the Endless and Apostle.

A bard, a killer, a prophet, a priest, and the very gods themselves - so very different and yet all beholden to their own desires. The consequences of their own actions. The victims of the actions of others, of each other.

Who is worthy of love, power, or forgiveness?

Probably all of them, on some level. But you can find out for yourself in the Creed of Gethin, a trilogy about gods, prophets, life and death.

Read book 1, the Unwanted Prophet, here

Follow @writingwolverina for updates on the release of book 2, The Forgotten Lyric (coming Aug 2023) and book 3, The Friend of the Gods (coming 2025, hopefully)!
