Restoring Wistana

by May Seelight

The air thickens. The threads of fate extend unnaturally. "You cannot create something from nothing"... You are the sole survivors of Marrow's first battalion, defeated by Morgheris's army of necromancers in the last battle, but determined to use the clues from your dreams to solve the mystery of Marrow's locket and save your homeland. The country of Wistana was originally designed for a D&D campaign, and reads as such as it follows Marrow's Bones through a series of adventures, in both the waking world and in the world of dreams... Restoring Wistana balances the tension between the stakes of war and the human moments of mischief, warmth and vulnerability that lie between each battle with a poetic cadence. Join the journey for this heart-stopping, action packed Romantasy that celebrates camaraderie and reveres the magic of nature.

Restoring Wistana felt like stepping into a quiet, magical world hiding just beneath the surface. May Seelight creates an atmosphere that’s equal parts mysterious and emotional, with a story that slowly pulls you deeper the more time you spend in it.

What stood out most to me was the feeling woven through the book — loss, healing, identity, and the weight of trying to fix things that may already be falling apart. The writing has a dreamy quality to it that fits the fantasy setting perfectly, and the world itself feels ancient and lived in.

If you enjoy fantasy that leans more atmospheric and reflective rather than nonstop action, this is definitely worth checking out.

Restoring Wistana May Seelight Debut

LSS Romantasy fans will dig Restoring Wistana and down it in a day. Action, spice, and found family.

WOW review. @mayseelight.author tells us this book was inspired by a DND campaign she was writing. This inspiration is evident in the well crafted magical world of mixed mythologies that is the setting of Restoring Wistana. The plot moves via quests our band of found family warriors complete. The action does leave room for warm moments of bonding time and even warmer, read spicy, times between love interests. Written in multiple POVs in second person truly immerses the reader. It also allows for hits of deep insight that are both unexpected and welcome. This is an incredibly solid debut from Seelight. I'm glad to know, via her IG, that it's not a one off and her WIP is a prequel

A quick, easy read of an epic adventure. Cool magic system, tense action scenes counterbalanced with soft romance, and wholesome companionship. The author makes great use of a 2nd person POV and draws you into the characters. Definitely recommend

I was gifted a physical copy by the author. I was amazed at the writing. It kept my attention also this story was my first ever 2nd narrative type story.

This was based of DND which shocked me a bit. I hope May writes more books. She has an amazing imagination.
