One day, when the world changed, Charlize woke up next to a dark forest, near an old, wooden cabin. She got up, clearly confused yet terrified, walked slowly towards the cabin and knocked.
A old woman opened up the door with a slight creak, as the grey haired, frail woman looked up, she gasped, so did Charlize.

She also never asked to be the heir of it.

With only her friends May, Isabelle and Jacob, she must become queen. She must save her kingdom.

"We need a plan." The first thing Hera said when they got into her room. Her new friends sat on her bed. May was the first to speak.
"No, we need to hide."
Hera didn't know how much she liked May yet. Is pushed a strawberry-blonde strand of hair out of her green eyes, silently telling Hera to not argue. She ignored her.
"No way! The Conjured are here. If you can't expect that, you're dead. We need a different plan."
"I disagree."
"I don't care."
"I do."
"Well, then, go hide. What I'm going to do is fight."
