The Wanting Mare (2021)

In the extraordinary world of Anmaere, nestled within its heart is the sweltering city of Whithren, a realm trapped in an eternal embrace with scorching heat. This city's lifeblood flows through the veins of wild horses, roaming untamed in the northern moorlands and along the rugged coastline - their freedom as transient as the cooling sea breeze. These magnificent creatures, the beacon of Whithren's prosperity, are pursued, ensnared, and once a year, shipped across the unforgiving sea to the icy expanse of Levithen, a land forever shrouded in winter's chill. The journey, a stark contrast between searing heat and biting cold, offers passage to more than just the city's valuable equine exports. Each year, when the ship casts off, it carries aboard a select few fortunate passengers, holders of the elusive and highly sought-after tickets. These tickets, coveted relics of hope and escape, are as rare as they are precious. Yet, ensconced in a humble abode just north of the city, a line of women weave a different tale, one spun from the threads of dreams and passed down through generations. This shared dream, a nostalgic echo of a time when magic danced freely with reality and myth was a living, breathing part of the world, is passed down from mother to daughter. This inherited memory is a testament to an age long past, a time when the world was alive with enchantment and wonder. Intricately entwined, these stories of relentless pursuit, inherited dreams, and the yearning for escape, create the rich tapestry of life in Anmaere, a world where the eternal heat of Whithren and the perpetual winter of Levithen coexist, where wild horses are both a symbol of freedom and a path to survival. The Wanting Mare unveils a tale of longing, legacy, and the indomitable spirit of survival.
