This is a tale of two countries finding peace; a tale of an emperor blinded by desperation, of how a team was put together to save these two countries from their doom.
The Queendom of Oshara seeks peace with its Athalian neighbor, but the tyrannic Emperor Sewale refuses to let Oshara flourish while his turns to sand. It will take more than usurping the emperor of a nation to return these countries to peace.

A Thread Of Broken Promises
"Kill me... not her." His voice was low, deadly calm, but his eyes-bloodshot, burning-never left mine. Eyes that should have hated me. Eyes that should have turned away after my betrayal. But no... even now, he chose me. And that was the worst punishment of all. Ten guns pointed at us. Ten traitors... just like me. And in the middle of it-Devraj. My Devraj. Bhai will come. He will save him. He has to. But only if I don't live to ruin him again. So I stepped back. Once. Twice. The edge welcomed me with open arms. "Don't-" his voice cracked, just once. Just enough to shatter me. And I let go. The world blurred. The screams behind me blurred into nothing. My shame, my fear, my hurt drowned with the wind as I fell.

The Prophecy of Water | TheWattys2018 Shortlister ✔️
[Wattys2018 Shortlist] [Bootcamp Mentorship Mentee 2020] [Insidious Awards - 1st place/Action/Adventure] "Squinty, I... Help me! Please! You have to help me!" Squinty huffed at him as the horse might snort at an annoying fly it couldn't get rid of. "A...a... an apple," he stammered. "I just... stole an apple!" ---- When water is controlled by those in power, even a mere apple can be a catalyst. For Squinty, it was the start of everything. Finding Grizzly. Losing Roko. Becoming a Vigil. Discovering she had the power to become invisible. For Nalina, the threat of a new Water War was even closer to home; her beloved brother was the one initiating it. To Drian, water formed the core of his belief system, defined who was - and was not - worthy, and justified the treatment of the underground-dwelling Wellers. An orphan girl, determined to do what was right. A princess, petitioning for peace. An abbot, torn between his religion, and his experience. Each with an Etching, a unique power that surely makes them special; a tie to something more, something extra, something beyond the Squareworld.
