A heart can't always glow brightly like it did one day. Sometimes it changes...and sometimes...it never goes back.


     When a kind man's lover dies, and his heart is torn, he decides to kick his two children out for "their own good." However, having been kicked out without knowing the man's recently found hatred for life, they still have that same, lovely outlook on it. With the village behind them as they depart, and promising to care for the man all they can, they decide to try and find something, or someone, to help resurrect their long gone mother. In hopes it'll get their father out of their old home and cheer him back up again.(CC) Attrib. NonComm. ShareAlike

Damsel Knight by samaustinwriter

Sometimes the best knight is a damsel. In a world where women are seen as weak, defenceless creatures for men to protect and own, one orphan girl wants to be different. She dreams of being a knight. Slaying dragons, taking down armies with her father's sword. Only her foster parents don't agree with her views. On the night of her betrothal to a man over twice her age, the King's soldiers come to their tiny village, and in the chaotic aftermath she's left with a choice. Go back to life she knows and marry a man she despises. Or journey onward and risk death to earn the knighthood she dreams of. The road forward isn't a safe one for a girl travelling with only her foster brother as company. Magic lurks in dark places. Vengeance burrows deep in many equally dark hearts. And all around the circle armies are gathering to defend the Kingdom against a threat not seen for a thousand years. This is the first part of the 140 thousand word fantasy adventure.
