Renala's World

by Mark Eiswon

A romantic fantasy novella about love, trust, and the fragile line between the world we live in and the world we wish for.
When a dark-orange rift tears across the sky, Renala's world begins to change. The magic around her feels different. The world grows colder. Strange creatures emerge from the shadows. And what frightens her most is not the rift itself — it is Rid, the person she loves and trusts most, who seems to be hiding something.
To uncover the truth, Renala sets out with Rid, her apprentice Lona, the tiny peske Spoon, and the majestic kyte Gracia. Their path leads to a dragon who may know what lies behind the rift — and to a truth that may be far closer, and far more painful, than Renala ever imagined.
Tender, atmospheric, and quietly devastating, Renala's World is a romantic fantasy novella for readers who love quiet heartbreak, magical worlds, loyal companions, and stories that reveal a second face after the final page.
Read it once for the feeling. Return to it to see what was hidden in plain sight.

About the author

Hi, I'm an author from Ukraine writing under the pen name Mark Eiswon.
I write atmospheric fantasy with unexpected turns and endings that change how you understand everything that came before. My stories tend to live between genres — equal parts emotional, character-driven, and a little strange in the best way.
Renala's World is my debut. More are on the way.
Thank you to everyone who reads my work and trusts me with their time.

It’s a simple story. It’s good, simply written, quick to read. Highly unexpected ending. Unlike most American authors you don’t get the happy ending, but that’s what made it interesting.
