Angelborn

"I can touch your soul, Little One. I can mold it like clay."

It was under the King of Lionseye’s law that any Angelborn child living in his kingdom would be brought to him. He would raise them as his own and offer them protection, sheltering them from hunger and wrapping them in gold, and all in exchange for one simple thing.

Their power.

Ten years later and with the world on the brink of war, it has become a race between the kingdoms to find the Angelborn, in hope that their powers can tip the sides of battle.

Mazey Drealth, living under the King’s roof, is an Angelborn. Torn from her parents at a young age, she has known nothing but the King’s brutal reign and tightfisted anger her entire life. But when she is sent out to find another Angelborn child in the King’s desperate hunt for power, she comes across a world and its people that is far different than what she had imagined, and discovers a threat more dangerous than any war.

With the world bearing down on her shoulders, does she choose its destruction, or does she choose to grant its deliverance?
