Alo & Wyome
On the night of Alo and Wyome’s wedding, they are sent on a quest for their village’s most prized gift, a forest blessing. But the forest does not give favor easily. Along the way, the couple faces trials devised to test them individually and together. But the hardest challenge of all awaits them upon their return from the woods.
Alo & Wyome is Corey D. Evans debut serial novel. It was written in response to a challenge: write a romantic fantasy that begins with a wedding instead of ending with one.
