The Wayfarer Chronicles

When Ethan disappears overnight, his younger brother Wilder learns the house they grew up in is a gateway to a living realm of magic and war. A realm that already knows Ethan's name and wants him to end everything. As Wilder follows the trail into a world ruled by a calm, terrifying Queen and a prophecy that promises peace at a terrible cost, every choice begins to reshape the land itself. Magic reacts. The castle listens. Love becomes leverage. With the war poised to end and every path demanding sacrifice, Wilder must decide whether the right ending matters more than the right to choose it. Because in this world, refusing destiny doesn't spare you from consequence it defines who pays it. Choice matters.
