Blake Thorburn was driven away from home and family by a vicious fight over inheritance, returning only for a deathbed visit with the grandmother who set it in motion. Blake soon finds himself next in line to inherit the property, a trove of dark supernatural knowledge, and the many enemies his grandmother left behind her in the small town of Jacob’s Bell.

A modern supernatural web serial by Wildbow, set in the same universe as his 2014-2015 serial Pact. Reading Pact or prior knowledge of the setting is not mandatory for reading Pale. The story updates with new chapters twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with chapters grouped into novel-like arcs. Expect to see interlude chapters dividing up the arcs, expanding on the story from other perspectives or in other formats, and there may even be supplementary material appearing in the midst of those arcs.
