Naele was never meant to survive. Ever since she was young, she has ignored the will of the gods. Not by choice, but because no priest can decipher the life path marked on her skin. Yet they all agree on one thing: ignoring it means certain death. Naele isn't planning on dying anytime soon, though. She's far too busy for that. Running a medicine shop in a bustling town is hard work. But when death marks start appearing on the skin of the villagers, it becomes clear fate is catching up with her. As soldiers from a neighbouring country invade the small town, they stand defenceless. Suddenly Naele is staring in the eyes of a dangerous stranger, and death is but a sword's length away. Still, Naele has defied fate for her whole life, and she isn't planning on stopping now. Even if it means forging a deal with the person tasked to kill her. 🗡️𝗔 𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀. 🗓️ 𝗔 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆.

The legendary Excalibur is finally drawn! Hail King Lancelot! The new king proving to be a decisive and skilled conqueror. Heavy is the head who wears the crown, but what of the man who was never supposed to rule? Meanwhile a young man named Arthur is confronted by a stranger called Merlin, claiming that Arthur is the rightful heir to the throne of Briton. The farmhand is forced to confront an unknown past and now a lost future. Some cursing and minor description of injury. An alternative take on an already well explored story. I hope I can provide some entertainment while I find my footing as a writer and will try to give updates to this story as swiftly as I can. Hopefully have an update once a week at minimum. Any advice about this platform is welcome & cover art is coming soon. Thank you!
