Some mistakes take months or years to collapse. Some take centuries...

The elven kingdom of Marsdenfel is poised on a precipice. Its father, Breidentel, has essentially collapsed and become its child.

Salles, its old longtime alley, has been chafing from years of rule by conquerors who ignored the realm's class divisions, and the current ruler has been missing for months. The crown heir is consort of another realm--Grehafen, an enemy of Marsdenfel from its very founding, which more recently enslaved Marsdenfel and even now claims a bastard of Marsdenfel's royal line for its queen.

And just before the king of Salles went missing, a nearby island of slavers assassinated the king of Marsdenfel, kidnapped that king's son, and left a teenage boy as ruler of Marsdenfel.

The entire region is like tinder awaiting a spark.

And it might have just found one.

Season 1 of The Gilded Throne After the war, the Elven Queen rose to power by declaring peace. Centuries later, an ancient magic emerged. Now Izogie and her friends must race to the north to reveal the truth behind the Mysterious War. ***** The Arcane Uprising is a war long buried with the Azgeda empire. At that time, mankind fought and won a battle to protect the North. However from the ashes of the war the Elven Queen rose to power with a name declaring peace. Victoria Penance forced the children of mighty warriors to abandon their heritage for a life of servitude. During the child's eighteenth year the perfect soul was given to five victors after they conquered their humanity. For centuries the nation of Penance laid quiet until the day Izogie Knight, the last descendant of a powerful bloodline was destined to forsake her royal lineage. Instead of renouncing her ancestral connection to magic Izogie does something far worse. She defies the kingdoms control by awakening an ancient power. Her actions trigger a ripple effect among the next generation, unleashing a clash between freedom and reign. Amidst the struggle for dominance and societal upheavals Izogie and her companions must race to Kushlite to urge the emperor that still sits on the gilded throne to fight. But Queen Victoria may already have the keys to unlocking absolute control over the North. ***** Soren released the Astral Steel from its sheath, and the blade glistened like a distant galaxy. "I promised your father I would keep you safe, so if you want to leave, you have to go through me." "Are you ready," He stepped away from his horse, summoning his magic. "You can't fathom the power you have denied, but soon, you'll have a choice. Either consume under the Dragmus banners or die as a Netherborne."

~The Elves lost their Magic. The Princess is a Dragon. The Halfling is a Shifter. And Witches rule the Realm.~ Liss' clan lives in a world of seclusion. The Darkbane elves believe it is their penance to spend eternity in Cradelow Valley as divine punishment for forgotten crimes committed by their ancestors. With their numbers dwindling and their magic lost, the Council makes a drastic decree to ensure the survival of the clan. But Liss has plans to escape, along with her best friend Dev. Her goal? Find a spark of magic. If she can do that much, she can prove the goddess hasn't forsaken them and change the fate of her people. ✨ Zan is a changeling and bastard prince of the Yansu, a reclusive dragon-elf clan. He's spent the last decade trying to free his sister from the witches who kidnapped her and stole her magic. Unfortunately, no one believes the crown princess lives, least of all his queen mother. Now the lands ravaged by the witches are stirring to life, amid rumors of the Darkbane's return. If there is any truth to these rumors, Zan will be the first to find out. If the Darkbane elves return, surely they'll depose the witches and set his sister free. Either way, he'll rescue the dragon princess one day or die trying. 🐉 (First draft completed 5/13/24)
