Princess Turned Barter by FlowerMortician

Munching on their tiny, brittle bones as screams echo through the town, under crooked doors and into houses. Until one day, a knight in shining armour appears and saves the village folk, bringing vindication to the town and protecting all the scared villagers.

And sometimes, to someone, the knight is the same person. --- Kyra's life has been drowning in death since she was young. The anger inside her has been ever growing until finally, Kyra decided to take action to stop the desecration once and for all.
