Book Introduction
In a land where kingdoms rise and fall on the wings of dragons, where alliances are as fragile as glass and as fierce as flame, destiny weaves an unlikely bond between two souls from vastly different worlds.
The Setup
The book is set in the Three Realms, a fantastical land divided into kingdoms, each ruled by unique sovereigns:
Realm 1 - The Realm of Animals: A World Divided by Claws, Scales, and Wings
The Realm of Animals is a vast, untamed land ruled by kingdoms that reflect the characteristics of the creatures who inhabit them. From sunlit savannahs to fiery volcanic peaks, the realm is as diverse as it is dangerous. Among its many kingdoms, two stand above the rest: Lethyus, the Kingdom of Lions, and Drathalius, the Kingdom of Dragons. These two superior realms dominate through strength, strategy, and their legendary rulers.
Lethyus - The Kingdom of Lions
Ruler: King Leo Arymis, a charismatic and sharp-witted leader known for his tactical brilliance and unshakable confidence.
Symbol: A golden lion roaring beneath the sun.
Territory: Lethyus sprawls across endless golden savannahs, broken by rocky outcroppings and dotted with majestic baobab trees. Rivers carve life into the dry expanse, and the kingdom is crowned by Pride Citadel, a fortified city of stone and gold that serves as its capital.
Drathalius - The Kingdom of Dragons
Ruler: King Zayn Malik, a powerful dragon shifter who commands respect through his sheer strength and enigmatic aura.
Symbol: A black dragon coiled around a glowing ember.
Territory: Drathalius sits atop volcanic peaks, with rivers of molten lava carving fiery veins into the land. The capital, Obsidian Spire, is a fortress of dark stone and flame, its towers reaching into the smoky skies.
Relations Between Lethyus and Drathalius
The two kingdoms share a complex relationship marked by rivalry and mutual respect.
Rivalry: Both kingdoms vie for influence over the smaller animal realms, each asserting their dominance in subtle and overt ways. Their starkly different values—Lethyus's diplomacy versus Drathalius's might—often lead to tensions.
Respect: Despite their differences, there's an unspoken acknowledgment of the other's strength. Lethyus admires the dragons' raw power, while Drathalius respects the lions' strategic brilliance.
Other Animal Kingdoms
Beyond the lion and dragon realms, the Realm of Animals is home to countless other kingdoms, each with its own unique culture and attributes:
The Wolf Kingdom: A land of dense forests and unbreakable bonds, where packs form the foundation of society.
The Serpent Kingdom: Hidden in swamps and jungles, its people are masters of stealth and alchemy.
The Eagle Kingdom: Perched in towering cliffs, its rulers command the skies with unmatched vision and speed.
While these kingdoms play significant roles in the balance of power, none rival the might or prestige of Lethyus and Drathalius.
