The story of Harlow Kimball

A blade cannot be brandished without a price. Every time you draw a sword you die a bit, inside. When suffering is thrust upon a land that has long known peace, and there is no white knight to shield the innocent from the flames - a coward can become a hero. A mere boy can defy a queen...but at what cost? Kelith Kettlesbee is in love, with his home, his books, and the blacksmith. When danger arises for which destiny has no answer, will he and his friends have what it takes to defend it all?

The Broken Throne is a lightly doctored manuscript of a live roleplaying game that I am running with nine friends, each of which plays a character in the story. This probably won't read like familiar fiction, because not even I can reliably predict what turns the story will take, so please be understanding. Hopefully, having a real person deciding the actions for each character will lend a sense of authenticity to the tale, as I do my best to hold together a loosely definable plot. Who knows, maybe our rag tag group of would-be adventurers will be able to save their kingdom, each other, or the world.
