Laseria

Evanthea Noviun knew what she wanted her life to be like. She had plans for a perfect future, plans that included the little details like the color of her curtains, the specific vase she wanted in the corner of her living room, even where she wanted her chicken coop to be. Evanthea knew what she wanted to do, what she wanted to be. And everything she had planned was attainable.

Despite the boy she wanted to marry having the same feelings for her, despite having the money to buy her own parcel of land in that perfect spot, despite everything she could ever want being in reach, she... wouldn't reach for it.

She was too afraid to get comfortable in her perfectly attainable life and then be called to lead her entire world. Evanthea was afraid that Martira would call her to live the life that her aunt Aurora had died in, so she didn't reach for her dream life.

At the age of 19, all of Evanthea's worries are proven to be extremely valid. Martira does call her to that life, as these things always go.

However, Evanthea still has a choice. Despite being chosen by Martira, she could still refuse the honor of being High Queen of Laseria. She could still chose her perfect dream life, but will she chose Dorian and that dream cottage with the emerald curtains?

Or does Evanthea know that she is destined for the life she least desired?
