You call it Wanderer of the Wastes!
This book is what I would call a dystopian fantasy. After a cataclysm, humans are forced to live inside underground bunkers to protect themselves from wild magics that can quickly kill them.
Our protagonist, Kol, is a young man who has spent his entire life in one such bunker. He takes his chance to escape (and save his brother) after a mysterious, silver haired witch shows up.
He's thrust into a strange new world of magic and monsters and on top of that has to figure out whether the dragon slaying witch Alessi is truly friend or foe.
I loved how Kit Karlsson gender-swapped the damsel in distress and age gap tropes (because Kol, or "Hole Boy" as Alessi calls him, is painfully out of his depth and constantly needing rescue at first 😆). I can't wait to see what further adventures Kol and Alessi have as the series continues.
