'''Entangling Vines''' is the first full-length novel set in Wisteria, developed for print by Zachary J. Adam. It navigates the period of the [[Southern Expansion]] and the issues caused by the [[Great Rift]] by examining the perspectives of four main characters:
# Sir [[Draven Hardgate]], a dispossessed [[Knight Mendicant]] and [[Bastonian]] minor noble who finds every excuse not to get involved in the [[Southern Expansion]] until circumstances force him to make his way south with a company of his most loyal followers in tow;
# [[Oleander Jonquil]], an [[Atarlie]] consecrated legionnaire in the [[Legio Immarra]], who receives a vision that sends him on a holy mission of fact-finding in [[Val Verra]];
# [[Mogrun Ashwalker]], an [[Orc]] of the [[Ashwalker Tribe]] whose training as a shaman and ties to the [[Confederacy of Sages]] send her on a mission of grave importance just hours before the [[Siege of Crossroads]], and;
# [[Valkan Astera]], a citizen of [[Petrenea]] whose unusual origins have left them cursed with divine visions and constant starlight murmerings of the gods, who is fleeing north into the [[Lordless Lands]] to escape the chaos caused by the [[Great Rift]].

The book's main themes are the ultimate interconnectedness of all things, the importance of duty as a foil to privilege, and the concept of "literary foils", with most characters in the book having at least one (if not more) counterpart characters who are "them, but for the grace of God". The book's long format takes its time bringing the main cast together while chewing around the periphery of the early half of the [[Southern Expansion]], and can be thought of as an "establishing shot" for further tales in the region.
