Ad for Re-caast Chapter 7: Lost. To the left are Lapis and Patch. Patch is holding a throwing dagger and his blue cloak and blond hair are blowing to the right. Lapis is facing him, holding a mechanical robot head. Her purple cloak and black hair are blowing to the right. On the right are the title and chapter title, along with dark science fantasy serialized novel and at World Anvil Manuscripts. At the bottom it says: tinyurl dot com slash re-caast.

Re-caast Chapter 7 is live @WorldAnvil Manuscripts!

There is something strange about the khentauree Lapis, Patch and Jhor are tracking.

FYI: Re-caast is on break until Jan. 2, just in time for the holidays!

There've been absent mothers in several of my books, creating black holes of gravity which pull & accelerate the plot.

"The realisation of how painful her life has been falls
