Choice of Rebels: Stormwright is an interactive epic fantasy novel by Joel Havenstone, the sequel to Choice of Rebels: Uprising, where your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Leading outlaws in the greenwood was just the beginning of your rebellion. Step now into a struggle of epic scale, as for the first time you encounter the world beyond the Rim: the nightmare desert wasteland of Xaos. Outrun Xaos-storms: huge tempests of wild magic that transform everything they touch. Battle pitiless reivers, befriend nomads, and share their torturous struggle to survive. Travel through a countryside transformed by blood magic, to cities vaster than you could have dreamed - and perhaps even search for the elusive source of the Xaos-storms.
Then, return to the Rim, and voyage to Grand Shayard, the capital of your homeland. Make new allies and enemies there as you engage in noble or religious politicking, mobilization of the drudge or merchant classes, or a war of ideas through the illicit printing press.
Everywhere you turn, there are dangers and opportunities alike: intrigues with spies from rival powers, the secrets behind the blood magic that powers the Hegemony, and ancient enmities that threaten to reignite.
- Play as male or female; gay, straight, bi, or asexual. Or, discover a deeper self-awareness to claim a new gender identity.
- Fight as a renegade aristocrat or defiant slave
- Build your skills as a self-taught mage, a general, or a charismatic influencer
- Reform the empire’s religion, convert to a rival's, or start your own
- Learn the dark secrets behind the blood magic that powers the Hegemony – and if you choose to master it, find a teacher to guide you
- Get your first exposure to the world outside the Wards – meeting not only the denizens of Xaos, but also agents of the Halassurq Empire and the Abhuman Federation
- Try to steer your growing rebellion from hiding, and witness its effects on areas far from your home in the Shayard Rim
Can your rebellion survive the rising storms of chaos?
