Rift Gardener — a TAOVERRA original cultivation story — is live on Royal Road. Chapter 1, The Withered Terrace, is up now.
When the sky cracks, someone has to tend the Rift. Lin Qingmu, kind and stubborn, tends dying herb terraces for a tiny sect — until a young Rift opens above Cedar Hollow, and tending beats burning.
