Following the Braid

Following the Braid by Cary J. Lenehan is a fantasy novel published by IFWG Publishing in July 2022. This edition spans 316 pages and is presented in English. The narrative begins in the cold sub-Arctic northern seas, where the inhabitants of Mousehole are engaged in a war against their enemies. As the story unfolds across the continent of The Land on the planet Vhast, readers will discover more about the world and the events shaping it, following familiar characters from previous installments in the Warriors of Vhast series.

In this installment, the Princess, her wife the mage, the Cat, and the ghazi navigate the complexities of their growing village, the Mice, as they seek to expand their influence over the continent. The forces of evil are challenged and pushed back from their positions of power. The narrative intricately weaves elements of epic fantasy with science fiction, set against a backdrop of a fabricated world that serves as an experiment in magic by a long-lived alien race. The ongoing struggles between the Shing-zu and their foe, the Daveen, further complicate the battle between good and evil on Vhast.
