Ryul's Last Years on Earth

Ryul's Last Years on Earth

by

Adrienne Miller

(“This is a book about madness. Madness is hard to understand for those who aren’t mad. It’s impossible to describe once you are. So, perhaps this book is about failure. Failure of communication. Failure of empathy. The failure that is love.”)


The world is unravelling. Cities descend, the skies are closing, and the future has been stolen by those who can afford eternity. Ryul, newly immortal, drifts through the ruins of her home, numb with guilt and longing for an end that will not come.
Until Erna, the assassin who killed her parents, steps across the threshold of her life.
Death, in a beautiful human shape.

Together, she and Erna trace the edges of a dying world—through riots and catacombs, fleeting memories and inevitable betrayals—seeking not salvation but the fragile shimmer of connection.

___________________________________________________________

"Ryul's Last Years on Earth" is for readers who enjoy quiet despair, philosophical musings, and a protagonist who slowly loses her grip on the world. This is not always an easy read, full of madness, lurking trauma, and a sapphic love that borders on unhealthy obsession. Please be mindful of your triggers.

About the Author

Adrienne Miller

Adrienne Miller writes in the genre of Dark Fantasy; combining beautiful aesthetics with existential dread. Her stories feature complex romances, found family dynamics, and storylines centred on world mysteries.  


She has grown up with both classic and new Fantasy, from Michael Moorcok's Eternal Hero series, Michael's Scott's "Thraxas" magical detective romps, to quiet and heart-felt Science-Fantasy by Becky Chambers.  


The Travelling City is inspired by her love for the imaginative worlds of old-school role-playing games like Planescape Torment and the intricate character work of urban fantasy authors like Holly Black.
