Sprig

A seed of hope in a world of hate....

War rages as land runs out. Elves, Dwarves, Humans, and other races fight for control of the limited space they have. When a land mass suddenly appears out of nowhere, people flock to it, only to be caught up in its mysteries. Kaia, one of the last living members of the Treek race, heads to the new land to find others like herself and escape the war that surrounds her. With conflict at her back, and untamed wilderness ahead, she and the companions she makes discover the truths of the new land and themselves.

Issue 1: Germ follows Kaia as she journeys to the new land, makes some unlikely allies, and begins the search for her people.

Sprig began as a web serial, a story posted chapter by chapter on Houston Hare's author website and is still being released in that format today. The overall story has now grown to more than 100,000 words, and more are being written every day. Issue 1 is the professionally edited first section of that story.
