Summary
A young human life cleric finds herself in a place outside of her intended destination to the disappointment and frustration of her goddess. To make things worse, she has been infected with an illithid tadpole, has been sent back to the beginning of her progression as a cleric (level 1), and is forced to travel with a group of strangers to avoid ceremorphosis. Still lost in the mystery of how and why she is here, she is forced to confront her past and somehow find hope in the end, despite marching herself to her own death regardless of her choices (as far as she can tell).
Will she manage to free herself from her affliction before she is transformed into a mind flayer?
Will she make friends along the way?
Will she find love?
Will she be forced to choose between becoming one monster over another?
Will she somehow be saved from her fate?
Will she somehow be saved from her god(s)?
Or was this maiden, from birth’s first breath till her final, doomed from the start.Warning: If you are planning on reading, Alice in Barovia, this work will contain spoilers for the other series later down the road. Though this work will be published first, so this warning may be strange for some.
