The Harvest Wheel - The Stygian Lepus Magazine, #602 - E-book - ePub

When a mysterious stranger offers a dying village salvation through an ancient, enigmatic device, the villagers must decide if the price for renewed life is worth the haunting, unnatural consequences. The once-thriving village of Huskwood has been reduced to a barren and dying land, its people struggling to survive amidst failed crops and dwindling hope. Belendra and her husband, Gurnen, are among the few who remain, clinging to a daily ritual of watching the sun set over their failing village. Their monotonous existence is disrupted by the arrival of Uldry, a mysterious stranger with a peculiar device known as the Harvest Wheel.
Uldry offers a solution: the wheel, if used correctly, promises to restore the village's fertility and prosperity. However, the villagers must decide whether to trust this outsider and his strange methods. As crops begin to grow in abundance, a shadow of doubt lingers when unexpected and unnerving changes accompany their newfound success. With ancient magic at play and the weight of a buried past resurfacing, the price for Huskwood's salvation may be far higher than anyone imagined.
As tensions rise, secrets unravel, and the village's future teeters on the edge, one question remains: what will truly emerge from the seeds sown by the Harvest Wheel?
