Lillandra is a traditional fantasy with a pretty light tone. It takes place in a world called Iona Magister, and follows the adventures of a swordsman named Arai, who, in the midst of his battle with the villainous Night Queen, is accidentally teleported to the other side of the world with her. On their long journey back home, the two of them -- hero and villain -- have all kinds of adventures and gradually begin to form an unlikely friendship.
The story is now complete and is available as an ebook on my Patreon. It's also being serialized on Royal Road and will probably remain available there until I release it on Amazon, which may not happen anytime soon.
As I said, the tone is pretty light and it has a lot of traditional fantasy tropes: magic, dragons, elves, monsters, and so on. It's also very episodic. I tried to give it a light novel, fantasy-anime kind of feel, while keeping the story and the setting relatively serious, although ultimately, I'm not sure I succeeded.
Here's a map of Iona Magister:
