Featured Webcomic
Ash in the Wind
by Cryoflower
Reasons to Read:
1. Romance with a twist
2. Beautiful environments
3. Good mystery
Summary:
Alexis Brangwyn is a disillusioned college student who has lost interest in the real world. When an opportunity turns up for her to investigate a local paranormal legend (and with the boy she’s been eyeing) she seizes it, but the two soon find themselves lost in another reality. In a place that seems like a dream come true, is there a reason to return home? A paranormal romance about self-love, loneliness, and escaping into fantasy worlds.
Updates every Thursday!
Ash in the Wind is recommended for ages 13+ due to light suggestive themes, mild horror imagery, and topics of mental illness.
