Harmonious Change [A Cozy, Creature Collection, Cultivation Story]

In this world spirit binding is the main path to power, and what spirit you choose to bind can shape who you are and what options are available to you. Our protagonist for this tale is Willow, a farmers daughter who bound herself to a candleflame spirit when she was very young. After a chance encounter with twin spirits of Harmony and Change her path is forever altered for better or worse. Watch as this child befriends spirits and makes an enemy of the clans as she tries her best to be the kind of hero she has only heard about in stories. Perhaps she will succeed in bringing about Harmonious Change to this land.

What to expect: A very slow burn, and I mean it. Book one will have very little in the way of action and is mostly spent having Willow finding the spirits that make up her team for the rest of the series. There's some cultivation stuff in the first book, but not a ton. This will eventually become something akin to a power fantasy in later books, but I do feel that Willow earns that power when that eventually happens. Willow will also get the ability to swap gender at will down the line, and they start gender swapping when they're quite young. I'd rather people come in to my story knowing that, rather than have them be blindsided when it happens. No romance is currently planned, but stuff may happen, though nothing explicit.
