Mind of Stone
blvexjay
They called her the Lioness, because like a Lioness, she knew no bounds, no leash, no cage-- only feral freedom and the desire to protect what was hers. Sophia knew how important her mind-reading capabilities were, born into a time of adversity between Warlocks and Humans. Those around her believe her a savior, sent to be taught and trained by her Master to bring salvation to her people. Raised on the outskirts of a Kingdom who has only ever shown her people cruelty, she knows only the thrill of the fight and the horror of the royal family. She had no reason to believe otherwise.
Now, with the promise of new land and opportunity, Sophia has been tasked with the job of fighting for the family of the very King who has made life hell for her and her people. Sent into the wolves den, she expects to be eaten alive, only to end up in a fake engagement with the Mercy King, once again tasked with doing whatever it takes to save her people.
Sophia must face her past in order to turn to her future, haunted by the mistakes and bloodshed that have followed her entire life. How long can Sophia cling to her freedom? How long can a Lioness survive in a cage?
